A broken femur can be an extremely painful and inconvenient occurrence. Because the femur is so crucial to walking and moving through your daily life, breaking it is often quite demoralizing.

Ironic ... this won't get him a Purple Heart but will be far more painful than the three slight wounds he allegedly received in Vietnam that got him three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and an early out.

Tell me about it. Broke my femur in 1972. Worst unending, intractable pain I ever experienced. I’ve experienced childbirth twice, and both were a walk in the park comparatively. Still experience debilitating pain every now and then, and the resulting arthritis isn’t insignificant. The insertion of the metal rod was horrible, and it was extracted a couple of years later with no anesthetic. Lurch better hope they have better pain control nowadays.
