That was the point - either the number 12 is wrong or something else is in play.
The number is wrong. It was 13 per the presser.
And the presser strongly implied all had legitimate issues, not just precautionary.

I dont think anyone thinks this just came from a hard workout. That said, I'd rather wait to find out what Iowa has to say before going off half cocked.
Can you quickly find a dermatologist and ask why the area around my left calf is itchy? There aren't any spots or anything.

My guess is it was one or two and they heard dudes who went to the hospital got to get away from drill sergeant Doyle for a few days and the list of guys "with symptoms" grew.
It is due to hard work outs and not enough water/gatorade that is all, we see this in the military all the time, and it not as bad as most people think. 12 cases is not that bad this summer we had 60 out of 120, they had not been drinking water or gatorade and in some cases been taking some kind of supplements like ripped fuel or hydroxicut, creatine
I have worked in nephrology for 18 years. I do not believe you when you had 120 soldiers clinically diagnosed with Rhabdo. You need a nephrologist to confirm the diagnosis. If you are telling me that 120 guys were seen by a nephrologist with RHABDO and a little gatorade fixed the problem I worry about the medical care the troops are getting.It is due to hard work outs and not enough water/gatorade that is all, we see this in the military all the time, and it not as bad as most people think. 12 cases is not that bad this summer we had 60 out of 120, they had not been drinking water or gatorade and in some cases been taking some kind of supplements like ripped fuel or hydroxicut, creatine
No way dude. 12 guys had severe life threatening injuries.

Life threatening? Really. Where did you come up with that? Next thing ya know, they were also in intensive care on life support.

I e-mailed my sister (a doctor and Hawkeye fan) to see if she had heard the news. She said it can be serious but it happens more than people realize. Something like 30-40% of all military recruits get it during boot camp training.
I did a quick Google search and found a study that stated, "during the early training phase, 40% of 337 military recruits had myoglobin in their urine, which is evidence of rhabdomyolysis.
