- My own, alas. Because I have a history of hyper-mobile kneecaps
- and spent my teen-years dislocating my knees once a month or so, I
- assumed any dislocation could be easily treated by putting the kneecap
- back where it belonged (I'm leaving the screaming part out) and ignoring
- minor stiffness and moderate amounts of excruciating pain. As it turned,
- ignoring torn ligaments is contraindicated, and I still have a relatively
- inflexible knee to remind me of my stupidity.
