Lesson 1: My Toe is Killing Me!


Doctor: Sorry you waited so long, Paul; I’ve been tied up all


afternoon.What seems to be the problem this time?


Paul: Doc,my toe’s killingme. I think it’s broken.


Doctor: Hmm. . . Let’s have a look.Oh, yeah, that’s a beauty.


You really did a number on that toe.How’d it happen?


Paul: I was helping my brother move. I dropped a desk on my foot.


Doctor: Well, that’s a surefire way to break some bones. Paul,


didn’t I see you last year for some sprained fingers?


Paul: Yeah . . . I was trying to fix the toilet and got my hand


stuck. I yanked it out, and hurt myself. I’mstill trying to


live that one down.


Doctor: Well, Mr. Fix-it, you’ve really outdone yourself this time.


You won’t be walking with this foot for eight weeks.


Paul: That’s impossible! I have a camping trip scheduled for


six weeks from now. Can’t it be healed by then?


Doctor: That’s a tall order, Paul . . . But I suppose it’s not out of


the question.With a lot of rest now . . . and intensive


physical therapy, you just may be back in the saddle


again in six weeks. But the therapy requires a lot of


work, and time . . . and specifically, following the


doctor’s orders . . . Can you handle that?


Paul: Piece of cake!


Doctor: But listen, even if you are walking by then, you’ve got


to take it easy during the trip.No climbing trees or


jumping across streams or anything. You really need


to baby this leg for a while!


Paul: Sure thing.


Doctor: Well, Paul . . . let’s get you bandaged up.We’ll have you


hobbling out of here in no time.Now . . . I want you to


keep an eye on the swelling in the rest of the leg and


foot. And get in touch with Dr. Phillips . . . She’s the


physical therapist.


Paul: Okay,Doc. Should I drop by here another day?


Doctor: Yes.We’re going to want to follow up on this in about


two weeks.


Paul: I’ll schedule an appointment with the receptionist.


Thanks. Bye,Doc.


Doctor: You’re welcome. And Paul, take it easy, would you?


Paul: Yes, I will. I promise.
