Where does it hurt? (1)

Good morning Mr. Jenkins. What can I do for you?

I’ve come about my foot. I think I’ve damaged it.

Aha. How did you do that then?

I think it was when I was playing my guitar. Sounds stupid, doesn’t it?

Well… What happened exactly?

My dog came in and I tripped over her. Didn’t see her and now I’m in agony.

I’d best have a look then. Can you take your socks and shoes off, please?

But it’s only the right one that’s affected.

I need to compare them.

I don’t think there’s much to see. Ouch!

Where does it hurt? (2)

Tender there, is it?

You bet!

And does it hurt when I bend your toes?

No.

And what about your ankle?

I don’t think so.

Good. Well this foot is definitely bigger than your other one. You may have broken a small bone but it could just be a bad sprain. You’ll need an X-ray. In the meantime, don’t put any weight on it.

How can I get home then?

We can lend you some crutches and you’ll need a taxi to get you to the hospital. The receptionist will make an appointment for you but I’d like it to be as soon as possible.

Thanks, doctor.
