In a interesting side note. Our military men and women can not sue military doctors for negligence at all!! If the military doc takes out the wrong kidney, oh well. If the military doc removes the wrong breast..oh well.

Banging heads and bodies with 300+ lb football players couldn't have had anything to do with this injury.
