Yeah, I know this "drill" too...pun intended. Fell on the ice at work two years ago rather hard right on my left shoulder. Subsequently went in for X-Rays of the injuries and the saw-bones was rather amazed at the sheer volume of past injuries, regrowths of bones, arthritis and soft tissue damage. He said I should have my entire shoulder "rebuilt" in a major way. Also said I would never be able to lift much more than 10 pound weights with a plastic-fantastic shoulder gizmo so I declined.
Better to live with my ruined joints and concomitant pain than to have some nearly useless fake shoulder replacement appliance installed. So I use some percocet, and whiskey and continue to work out as best as I can...while inculcating in my youngest "buffed out" son what NOT to do and end up like dad
Hellfire. Agree dude. We have friends in the medical profession, several actually since my wife is a lifer RN with background in several sub-disciplines, and many complain that malpractice insurance constraints and costs are driving some of them out of practice!
This country is in quite a mess in so many respects. Everything is about the almighty profit and "doing it on the cheap". Quality be ****ed. Neither dominant political party offers realistic redress as they are terminally corrupt and misguided. I no longer even follow politics as it sickens me worse than my many injuries!!!!
Can't even imagine what this culture/country/world will morph into over the next 20 or 30 years...glad I probably won't be around to see it.
I see a bad moon a'risin!
