Thread Name: BS: The physics of a fall
Subject: RE: BS: The physics of a fall
The ER docs were very nice - they are the ones who prescribed RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) - but I've come back to work where I sit a lot with my leg down. I asked about thrombisis and they said not to worry - but man, my calf is FILLED with decomposing blood. And it's crawling up my leg in the most glorious technicolor.

Hurt like I couldn't have imagined - but then stopped hurting, I continued my walk to dinner, had dinner - and then tried to get up again and literally could not walk.


Anyway, back to the physics - always let g=10 or your students hate you.
I'll try TIA's formula when I have more brains...
