Clint's boss has to have his new hip taken out again. There is another infection that is growing on the metal. The doctor told him that antibiotics can't kill this. The hip has to be removed, and they will give him a "loaner" hip until his new hip is made and replaced. He has been through so much since he had it replaced the first time. By the time he gets through this round, he will have had six hips-his natural one, three replacements, and two loaners while the replacements were being made.
This will create more work on Clint who will have to do both jobs, but he is getting training to move up another rung in the company.
