MILITARY HEALTH CARE AT IT'S FINEST

So I hear all the time about how great it is to be in the military because of free health care. Free, yes, competent, no. Here's a nice example of how great military health care is. Have your shoulder pop diving for a ball in a softball game. You can't move your arm, you are in agonizing pain and it's turning purple and green. Go to the emergency room and have them take x-rays. A doctor comes in and tells you that you have fractured your shoulder and you need an MRI to see if there is any ligament or tendon damage because you might need surgery. Then have them tell you that the earliest they can see you is 3 weeks from now, but here are some pills and a sling while you wait. Now go back to work. I guess you get what you pay for. Here is a pic to show I am not making up this injury.
