Summer means being outside frolicking. Biking, skateboarding, skating, walking the dog, playing outside with the kids, yard work…

The list is endless.

As are the ways that these activities can injure the human body. Injure in ways that need surgical interventions.

You name it, I’ve seen it.

Fractures of all sorts from the tips of your toes to your facebones.

Lacerations of all sorts everywhere there is skin. A laceration is a cut or an owie as we medical professionals call it.

Infected bug bites that subsequently need to be drained or otherwise surgically treated.

Random infections sometimes from the lacerations.

Summer has many ways to hurt people.

Most of them start with gravity exerting its will on people.

Word the wise, babies bounce but adults thud.

And with a fall and it’s sudden stop at the end, things can happen to the human body.

No one can escape gravity. And bubble wrap suits would be expensive, not very sustainable, and hot. Can you imagine the sweat?

Yep, gravity has everyone’s number. It is just a matter of time before you feel the impact of gravity.

No one is getting away from it.

In fact, gravity is in the room with you right now!
