This is an x-ray of a friend of mine's leg that was taken just a day or two ago. It-s fairly obvious there are two pretty severe breaks...even I can see that. I don't know a lot about the details, I only know he broke it when jumped down from his truck...he's a professional truck driver for a living.
While I was talking with him tonight, he told me that the doctor he saw when this happened didn't/wouldn't put a cast on it. Wouldn't give him a walking boot, or even an Ace Bandage to wrap it with.
As I mentioned above, this x-ray is was taken just a day or two above, the scary part is, this break happened back on December 6, 2011!!!
Does this sound like a normal path of treatment? My buddy is scheduled to see another doctor about it tomorrow, but I was hoping to have some advice for the medical part of the brain trust I could pass on to him before seeing him.
Thanks for any answers or advice you may provide!
