I was surprised to hear that once you hit your mid to late 40's, the ability to fully heal the hamstring is pretty much shot.
A full tear, they obviously secure it back with the bone, but if it's a partial, even a bad one, and you're not relatively young they won't do surgery. You pretty much just have to wait for the trauma to heal and get by with a significantly weaker leg.

I slipped on ice and shredded my hamstring I looked up my injury and it said water skiing can cause it so it's possible I had the same injury as your friend...it was ****ing awful.
