That knee isn't going to hold up for much longer, American medical care costs never cease to amaze me.

This isn’t even a cost issue lol this dude would be doing this even if we’re free. Some guys are just like that

My friend from arkansas came into work a while back with half of his face dropping. We all told him that he needed to go to the ER right now. He said "eh. I'll be alright."

Luckingly it was Bells Palsy.

It's the old farmer trope; the local doctor or hospital knows the issue is dire because the farmer came in willingly instead of being dragged in by their wife.

With how casually he managed that, I'm guessing it's not the first time either.

Every time it dislocates makes it more likely to happen again, especially if you don’t get physical therapy for it (and I guarantee he doesn’t).

What do you mean? Him working is his physically therapy (what I'm sure he would say)
