senior project mentor/volunteering XIV

On that same day with volunteering to irrigate the patient's hand another patient came into the ER. This patient had fallen and fractured her ankle. She needed to be taken to x-ray to see how crucial the matter was. In the end she had an opaque, closed fracture in her right ankle. Through the x-rays taken by the medical staff, the doctors needed to decide what to do for the patient. The orthopedics needed to reduce the leg, for the bone to properly heal. She had her leg plastered and was given wheelchair after being discharged.
