They were asking for a nurse, and I said &#8220;well, I&#8217;m a doctor, what do you need?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So I examined her and came to the conclusion that I thought she had broken her ankle (specifically, her distal fibula) and she needed to go to an ER for X-rays and splinting\/casting. She wasn&#8217;t feeling (or looking) that great (kind of shaky and pale&#8230; Hello, broken bone!) so we called for the paramedics to give her a temporary splint and transport her to a hospital. They said they didn&#8217;t think it was broken, and I just thought&#8230; &#8220;Well, I hope it&#8217;s not (for her sake) but I really think it is.&#8221; and off she went in the aid car.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I stopped at Starbucks on my way to work and I saw another skater who had been helping out with her last night: &#8220;It&#8217;s a broken fibula.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ahhh, victory.
