TMI #12 (military, gore, HIPAA violation) Afficher plus
A friend of mine donated a wheelchair when I was recovering from a surgery (I've had a few) and I asked him where he got it.
He told me a story that I didn't believe, so a few months later when we were moving duty stations I had him show me his medical record.
According to his papers, it was true. He lost his right testicle when a truck full of pomegranates got hit by a VBIED at a vehicle checkpoint and he took a pomegranate pit fragment to the crotch.
The same joker was getting a "prison tattoo" around his collarbone that said "I am my brother's keeper" when his unit took mortar fire and he got up and ran to get on a machine gun, shirtless, still bleeding. The officers saw it and gave him some minor punishment and took away the tattoo gun.
To this day the tattoo still just says "I am my bro"
