I have, but the guys told me that the rules were that I don’t talk about it, and that I don’t talk about it. 🆒

Seriously, though, I’ve come off on the short end of several fights, but I never had that “getting kicked and stomped while on the ground” routine that usually seems to precede a trip to the ER. Getting your ass kicked with fists and feet and getting stomped while prone on the asphalt are two very different animals IMO. In the fights I’ve been in, maybe 1% of punches thrown end up being solid head shots. When the guy is down, they _all_ are.

ehhh, maybe I’ve watched A Christmas Story one time to many.

No offense intended.

yes, age 11, child abuse, choked, beaten, raped;could not talk for 3 days, taken to the doctor for “laryngitis” (wore a long sleeve turtleneck to hide the bruises) If the doctor had lifted up my shirt to listen to my lungs, he would have seen the bruises.

Remembered the incident in a flashback 25 years later. At the time of the flashback, I had been a doctor for eleven years and never could understand why I HAD TO lift up a child’s shirt to listen to their lungs. I knew other doctors did not lift up the shirt, but I HAD TO. (I did pick up a case of child abuse by lifting up the shirt-little boys back covered with scars from being beaten with the buckle end of a belt)
