That damned leg…
My right leg and me go back a long way, 😉. But since I was 16, due to an incompetent school medic, things got worse faster than they would have otherwise. Sure, the leg was bad, it would have given me issues in the end. But the way it happened now, it was probably way worse than if it had happened over time... The way it happened still angers me. It hurt so much and it made the bad situation even worse. Of course I can never be sure, as this happened and I will never know what would have happened if nature had done it's thing by just time... But yeah... I'll try to give a short explanation of what happened in the last 28 years up to now, but I fear the definition of short may still seem long to you. Sorry in advance!

This quote from @BeateSjafjell will stay with me: "The logic of shareholder primacy entails that using these possibilities to organize business to evade and avoid regulatory requirements or conceal the dirtiest aspects from public perception is not perceived as unlawful or unethical but rather
an economic optimization and good business sense"
