SHEEHY (1999): While the affair continued, the third marker event occurred. Clinton stumbled down a flight of stairs at golf pro Greg Norman's house, and, overnight, he was hobbled like an old man...Bill's final liaison with Monica was on March 29, a little over two weeks after his fall. Monica had to service her crippled lover while he was still using crutches.

At the home of golfer Greg Norman in March 1997, Clinton caught his heel on a step and tore 50% of his right quadriceps tendon. (The tendon connects the kneecap to the quadriceps muscle of the thigh.) Clinton heard the tear as a "very loud pop." He underwent a two-hour operation under regional anesthesia to repair the tendon, followed by weeks with a knee brace and crutches [4].
Had the operation required general anesthesia, Clinton had planned to transfer Presidential authority to Vice President Gore under terms of the 25th Amendment [5]. Clinton was awake during the entire operation and "was alert most of the time" [4].
But do you remember the press being all over the story like this one? I sure don't. I know we were skeptical at the time, but it seems to me that we didn't know anything about it until he showed up to get on Air Force One.
BTW, I saw some reporter on either ABC or CBS who had gone to some gun range to get a shooter to explain to him what happened.
The shooter said, "When the quails flushes, you hold your gun like this" (and he put the gun in front of himself in a shooting stance.
The reporter, in all seriousness, then asked "And do you follow the quail with your gun?"
The shooter just sort of looked at him and said, "Yeah." Like HUH?
