How does it protect it by rendering it useless?

I don't know if it's considered notable by Wikipedia standards, but one of the four remaining people on the US Federal Compassionate Investigational new Drug Program (q.v., colloquially, the Federal Medical Marijuana program) suffers from Exostosis. It may not warrant any kind of text inclusion, but perhaps a link might be appropriate. 204.86.42.50 ( talk) 19:29, 24 May 2012 (UTC) reply

I was wondering if Donald Trump's famous 'bone spurs' draft-dodge merited mention here. I see it's been inserted and removed already. But Googling 'bone spurs' doesn't mention Trump (in the abstracts) for the first 150 hits. So it seems like Trump is just trivia, in this context. Onanoff ( talk) 15:33, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply
