Does this comment even make any sense?

There are lots of ways a kidney can be momentarily crushed. Not all of them lead to bruising or being torn.

Probably a better word would have been “compressed”. “Crushed” carries a connotation of permanent compression.

They don’t know until he gets seen by a doctor.

A simple response to the question is:

You can’t make sense out of nonsense.

A nicer response would acknowledge that people habitually speak casually; we don’t pay attention to what we say or we assume the listener knows what we mean.

If he hadn’t seen a doctor yet @talljasperman, how would the guy know if the kidney was torn and bruised?

I agree @SABOTEUR. Reporting and editing is so sloppy any more.

@Dutchess_III Conjecture from paramedics?

No, it was a “Dr. Richard Miller of the Vanderbilt Trauma Center.”

@Dutchess_III Oh than I don’t know.
