Dr. Mudd's Diagnosis

[Leon Greene]

In medicine I always say that the answer to any question beginning with "Is it possible...?" is "Yes." But it would be extremely unlikely. All fractures can worsen due to excessive movements, but it would be exceedingly unusual for a stress fracture to progress to the extent noted by Dr. Mudd, by Mortimer Ruggles, by the autopsy findings, or by the reported injury in the New York Tribune. So, "possible"? Yes. But don't bet any money on it.
