Because he'd been treating all of their people.
And they had, you know, estimates are anywhere from 600 to 800 killed and 2,000 wounded.
Now, that's the high end.
But it's a lot of casualties on their side.
And they got nothing left.
I mean, they were, their supplies were exhausted.
He wanted to get me to dig for hospital because, you know, he wanted to see what's going on in my leg and my back.
But the Adid's people wouldn't let him do it.
And they said, no, he's not going there.
So he put a splint on my leg.
Did this, you know what?
I'd have to go back and look at my notes.
I may get this out of sequence.
It's not really that important anyway, but he puts a splint on my leg and it was basically like, you know, the wire shelving.
It's kind of like that.
But he splints me all the way down to my foot.
so my ankle can't turn my knee can't bend and my fracture is so high he can't stabilize there's not enough bone left for the fracture to actually stabilize there's you know maybe i don't know eight inches of a femur in my upper femur and then there's
you know, whatever, 12 inches, and then the rest of my leg.
So the only place it can pivot is the fracture.
