I hurt my back during training and since it really started hurting after-hours I went to the local ER. The same ER all of the serious training incidents go to.

The ER doc eventually said “this seems like drug seeking behavior”.

To which I responded. “No shit. I didn’t come in here for a hug. I need muscle relaxers and pain meds so I can fake it through PT in the morning.”

Which hilariously worked? He gave me what I needed and I left.
