I everted my ankle playing table tennis.
Everted?
Yes.
You mind if I take a look?
Are you an orthopedic surgeon?
No. I am an emergency medicine specialist.
Could I talk to an orthopedic surgeon? I'd prefer an expert in that area.
Well, I'm pretty good at ankle sprains.
How do you know it's a sprain?
Well, I'd have to examine you first, but...
Could it be a Jones fracture or a dancer's fracture?
Could be. Again, I'd have to look. Why don't I examine you, and that'll tell me.
Shouldn't you take a complete history on the present illness first?
It sounds like you're more interested in asking the questions, so...
You didn't ask me if I felt a pop or a snap. You didn't ask about previous injuries. You didn't ask about weight bearing.
Why don't I get you some fresh ice?
