Were you aware that Dr. Bill Frist actually saved Petraeus's life? Came in off of the golf course and operated on the General.

As a doctor, I thought that you might find this interesting.

I think I might have read that story. I read WaPo's 3 part story about Petraeus in 2004. It's mentioned at Wikipedia. He was shot accidently in the chest during a live-fire exercise according to Wikipedia. He was antsy to get discharged from the hospital and did maybe 50 push-ups to show that he was fit for discharge, IIRC.
