General David Howell Petraeus


In 1991, Petraeus was accidentally shot in the chest with an M-16 assault rifle during a live-fire exercise when a soldier tripped and his rifle discharged

He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, where he was operated on by future U.S. Senator Bill Frist.

The hospital released him early after he did fifty push ups without resting, just a few days after the accident.
