Quick Injury Survey

[Retribunator]

Hey I've got some homework about sports injuries to do and I thought, who better to ask than a group of 20-50 year olds who are heavily involved with military and other strenuouse activity. Longer lives = better chance of results than a bunch of 14 year old kids.

All Categories are Down, thanks for helping me everyone.

ok thanks a lot Madhouse (screw you shotgun) hopefully you can get the ball rolling. Can you tell me what you dislocated? Shoulder? Hip?

[Retribunator]

oh sorry I missed that

[VisOne]

Name: Daniel Cade
Injury: Dislocation (Knuckle)
How you did it: Drove my knuckle back into my fist while playing football.

Injury: Fractures (Medial Tibial Syndrome *Shin Splints)
How you did it: Got taken out by serious illegal slide tackle while playing soccer which started the micro fracturing of both my shins put a total end to my sporting days and possibility of joining the armed forces.

My personal favourite although it wasn't technically a sport accident I fractured my collar bone when I landed my bike badly after a jump my friend who was a cadet medic came over to check my collar bone to see if it was broken. His exact words "See its not broken if it was broken I couldn't lean on it" guess what he did ? On the plus side when I went to the doctor he noticed I wasn't using my left index finger to button my shirt about 3 weeks earlier I had cut it quite badly with a scalpel all the way to the bone and had completely severed the tendon. 2 days later I was in surgery and now I have a 2 inch scar all the way down the left hand index finger and I still can't bend it fully. That doctor saved me from having a completly usless index finger know what that means I wouldn't be able to strafe left no finger for the D key.

thanks for that Vis, great help but I'm real sorry about the shin MTS, you must've had to rethink your entire life after that.

NOTE: for future reference, if a type of injury has been said, I only need one of each category. For example, Vis and Madhouse both mentioned there dislocation, I only need on story about each injury. The Fracture was still really helpful

[VisOne]

I've got one for almost everyone of these but most are due to me being the most unlucky guy alive and since my shins are cactus I have hurt myself either at work or around the house.

[Retribunator]

thats alright Vis, I'm trying for one per person but if worse comes to the worse and no one wants to help out a team member in an environment centered around teamwork I'll use whatever you can give me

Injury: Sports Asthma
Story: Aged about 17 played a Hockey Grand Final in Darwin, nearly couldnt breathe close to end of the game. Saw a Doctor following day, he said it was "Sports Asthma" gave me an inhaler (different to usual asthmatics) i never used it. Strange.

Thanks Kirk, but I could still do with your second name.

Graunch: Well, for every helpful person you have to have an extremely unhelpful person.

Bahlye: Thats a hefty set of injuries, but...none of it is new, I've already got info for fractures and nothing I needed was to do with stabbing
