Dude the Navy is the same way... "What you broke your leg? Here's some Motrin 800MG. Take 2 and come back next week." "Hhhmm... Nasty cough you have there... Take 2 of these 800 mg Motrin and get some rest." "Hey you just took a bullet wound to the head?? Here have an 800 mg Motrin you'll be just fine."... Freakin Doc...

Nubian you were a nurse??? I'll shaddap now... Or he might hunt me down and pop my head of LOL

Holy ****... i fell 15 feet and landed on my feet (drop and roll) and i was fine. That sucks dude i hope you have a speedy recovery
I did that too off of a telephone pole and the ladder slid on ice as i was climbing up and my strand hook grabbed and spun my ladder around and tossed me but I landed in 2 inches of snow and on my feet.

For anyone who doesnt know strand hook are what the cable techs us to attach the ladder to the cable wires on a pole there are two hooks that you put on the wire that is it. If you slide then because of teh angle one hook lifts off the wire and then the other will grab if that happens it flips the ladder backward and tosses you off.

Don't forget about water....everything can be cured by drinking water as well. In the 8 years I served, I never had som many people telling me to drink frickin water. I understand water has benefits, but they made it appear magical.
