Veterans Day always reminds me of my maternal grandfather, who suffered kidney damage after being wounded in France in WWI. He liked to tell the story of his "shortest physical exam ever," in which the doctor told him, "Get out of here -- you're dead. No one can live with urine like that." The doctor missed his diagnosis by only about 65 years.
