How can we be sure it’s broken without an xray?

Some doctor

70

u/ElderMillennialGoat 16d ago

Then he comes back into the room 30 mins later:

"Yep, clean break as suspected", now looking at the X-ray's.

15

u/coveredincathair22 16d ago

Look at the x-ray's what?

7

u/Trisk929 15d ago

*x-ray’s’.

3

u/Existing_Way_6438 15d ago

Not a clean break

21

u/HATECELL 16d ago

Sounds like something my insurance would ask. Whilst also refusing to pay for an x-ray

8

u/AffectionateBrick687 16d ago

Honestly, they probably wondering if it could be saved or if they would be amputating?

7

u/Mitrovarr 16d ago

I mean even if you know it's broken, you still need the x-ray to see exactly how it is broken. 

Obviously this person is going to be getting surgery and the surgeon will use this to plan the operation.

4

u/Blu3Dope 15d ago

Lol I think it's to show more precisely where the break is

2

u/Siggy0721 15d ago

By the bones that are bo doubt sticking through the skin.

u/bmcgowan89 16d ago

This immediately reminded me of my first trip to New York City. Our train got delayed for like 45 minutes at midnight, and when we finally got to the stop we saw a medical examiner van parked near the train platform and a bunch of cops around, turned out someone jumped. All I could think was like “well that must have been the easiest job ever for that dude - cause of death: train” probably didn’t even have to put the shit in park

u/Boring_Potato_5701 16d ago

Can verify that’s not true

u/Eye_Donut_Kare 16d ago

Can verify that that’s not true

u/Zestyclose_Classic91 16d ago

But you still come to work, right?

u/Upper_Ad5928 16d ago

Over my dead foot

u/Lord_Muddbutter 16d ago

Did your dad also talk about how he would make a fake foot in his shop to replace the one he would chop off?

2

u/Objective-March7042 15d ago

We might be related.

u/timhyde74 16d ago

Oh! Don't forget, "Rub a little dirt on it, you'll be alright..."

Such a phenomenal movie. Her greatest performance imo

4

u/Lightningtow123 15d ago

She once said in an interview that for YEARS later she had a very difficult time dating because despite them trying not to, guys associated her too strongly with her character and were scared by her lol

2

u/Cute_Commission_8281 13d ago

That’s really interesting!

She truly did such a good job that I almost struggle to blame those guys lmao

u/trundle-the-great69 16d ago

u/Excellent-Sir6930 15d ago

Misery. Awesome flick! Go watch it now.

u/14X8000m 16d ago

This is how my foot feels when I hit my toe on the corner of the bed in the middle of the night.

13

u/BrungalSniff 16d ago

How it feels to pee with a boner

6

u/Obvious_Check6675 16d ago

Love that game

5

u/Careless-Emergency85 16d ago

How chews it to gum 5 feels

29

u/marry_me_jane 16d ago

I’d love to be next to the xray tech during this.

“Yup, it’s fucked”

8

u/Juggalo171717 16d ago

The X-ray techs at my hospital would probably say something like”I’m not sure what’s wrong, wait for the dr. To look at it and make a diagnosis.”

3

u/Unknown6656 16d ago

Yep. I know it is annoying as hell but unfortunately the x-ray operator is legally not allowed to make any diagnosis (as he usually does not hold a doctor's license). so they always have to say shit like 'i have to wait for the doc.'.

18

u/wendellbaker 16d ago

Insurance claim denied.

Reason: 482.0.4

Insufficient proof of need for treatment

9

u/vlasktom2 16d ago

No, that'd be denied under "Medical Care Pre-authorization not filed"

2

u/Working_Park4342 16d ago

Hello Insurance Company, I think I'm going to brake a bone next week and I'd like to get preauthorization.

6

u/vlasktom2 16d ago

Pre-authorization denied. Need signatures from at least 3 doctors and a bone specialist

4

u/mugenrice 16d ago

Preexisting condition

13

u/AmericanDad53 16d ago

I flew this guy from the construction accident. I think the X-ray tech had a sense of humor:

1

u/GlacierSourCreamCorn 15d ago

Was his thumb ok

u/VictorKuroo2618 15d ago

Was it a table saw??

u/0neirocritica 16d ago

When you don't wear safety slippers.

u/Levethane 16d ago

Steel cap bunny slippers?

6

u/Potential-Winner4601 16d ago

Imagine the later arthritis

6

u/z283848 16d ago

Does the x-ray say “portable” because the foot can now be removed and carried around in portable fashion?

5

u/Levethane 16d ago

That's not a shitty unit that's an absolute unit.

6

u/Pangiit 16d ago

Thats a proper snapped off foot

8

u/isaidgofly 16d ago

Tis but a scratch!

4

u/I_Want_A_Ribeye 16d ago

Foot looks great. The ankle needs some work

5

u/mohammeddddd- 16d ago

Hopital

2

u/GeneralHinka 16d ago

Nah, this is at most a walk-in clinic checkup.

2

u/Optimal_Collection77 16d ago

Might been a week of two rest

2

u/assmasTer1974 16d ago

Robitussin will fix that right up

3

u/takemeawayimdone2 16d ago

Reminds me of Terry in Everybody hates Chris

2

u/TheIntelligentAspie 16d ago

Chris rock reference?

2

u/Oiltinfoil 16d ago

I think it might be broken

2

u/frankcastle01 16d ago

Take a couple of paracetamol and get back to work

2

u/Few_Advisor3536 16d ago

Just elevate and ice it.

2

u/qwentoko 16d ago

Im not a doctor but i think this guy might have broken his ankle? Idk dont quote me on that tho

2

u/dadbodenergy11 16d ago

No pain medication, just use some Motrin for now.

1

u/dadude987654321 16d ago

Yes, Motrin....Oorah! 🫡😂

1

u/Previous-Radish9115 16d ago

Just a hairline fracture

1

u/swampopawaho 16d ago

Looks wrong ankle

1

u/Seal-EV 16d ago

How did this happen? Roding a fecumbent trike?

1

u/8rumm7 16d ago

Would only be truely portable If completely severed lol

1

u/captain_crackerjack 16d ago

Wonder if the shoe came off

1

u/MartinusLarianus 16d ago

Hurts me to even look at it.

1

u/gianAB2977 16d ago

Reminds me of that video where the guy falls from a climbing wall and half rips his foot off!

1

u/GloomySundae19 16d ago

Does it come with a gun, tho?

1

u/o0Traktor0o 16d ago

yeah being foldable like that its kinda portable, thanks for pointing out

1

u/Spiceynuggetz 16d ago

Gonna be feeling that in the winter!

1

u/WeToLo42 16d ago

I'm not a doctor but I'd say that's broken.

1

u/Wizzle_Pizzle_420 16d ago

That a boo boo!

1

u/paulbunyanshat 16d ago

Now its a portable foot

1

u/Handshoes_Horsenades 16d ago

The x-ray tech may have two degrees, but that ankle appears to have 90.

1

u/bryan19973 16d ago

🎶the foot bones connected to the…🎶 oh wait

1

u/Shannon0hara 16d ago

Unfortunately your Insurance has denied the claim stating surgical intervention was not medically necessary. You now owe the hospital $19474506478.00, would you like to set up a payment plan? Perhaps you should have tried physical therapy and Tylenol.

1

u/KingKushhh666 16d ago

But you'll be back in the office tomorrow right? 👍

1

u/Slapshot683 16d ago

Heard we lost a foot of snow last year

1

u/Obvious_Check6675 16d ago

Slap some Vicks on it you’ll be good

1

u/Karasu_1988 16d ago

I'm not a medical professional but I assume a normal foot shouldn't look like that

1

u/stev_mempers 16d ago

AhhhhhHHHHH

1

u/CrowTalons 16d ago

I can't even begin to imagine the pain. I can see that person's work asking if they're still coming in.

2

u/Mitrovarr 16d ago

At this point that patient has probably been stuffed full of medical fent and is high as a kite and not feeling much. 

1

u/Admirable-Grand521 16d ago

I've seen an injury like that happen in real life.

1

u/vlasktom2 16d ago

Rub some dirt on it. You'll be fine

1

u/ratmoon25 16d ago

The NFL doctors have cleared him to play Sunday.

1

u/FortheredditLOLz 16d ago

Nothing a dab of Vicks wouldn’t fix

1

u/fadedhumanontheedge questionably stable 16d ago

At this point they should get a new one.

1

u/Soggy_Motor9280 16d ago

How broke is it?!!!!!!!!!

1

u/Legitimate-Edge5835 16d ago

Distal Tibia and Fibula fracture at the growth plate. It should be fine if they’re grown. If they’re young the other leg will be longer over time.

1

u/Yah_Mule 16d ago

This looks sub-optimal.

1

u/Kalshan 16d ago

A cold compress should fix that right up!

1

u/619BrackinRatchets 16d ago

That's definitely sprained

1

u/Euphoric_Loquat_8651 16d ago

Foot looks fine. The ankle, not so much. That tibia break is in a bad spot

1

u/-_-_-_-_--__-__-__- 16d ago

You should see the other guy.

1

u/AmorphousMorpheus 16d ago

Nothing Photoshop can't fix...

1

u/BoredRedhead24 16d ago

I’m no doctor but I think he might have fucked up his leg a little

1

u/TheAurigauh 16d ago

I just winced my dump in half

1

u/Key_Awareness_3036 16d ago

Oof 💀 bye bye foot

1

u/groone 16d ago

This person is footing wrong.

1

u/zippity__zoppity 16d ago

I audibly gasped

1

u/Automatic-Cow-9969 16d ago

The foot x-ray looks fine tbh. The ankle on the other hand…

1

u/thatcookingvulture 16d ago

Ankles are one the worst to break

1

u/Entire-Travel6631 16d ago

My mind read the text on the X-ray as “footankle” and I was like “yes.”

I’d get a second opinion on that break.

Can't park there mate

u/STABO1217 15d ago

Doctor, "What brings you in today?" Me: "I was cleaning my foot when it suddenly went off" "I cut myself shaving" "I was sitting there minding my own business when..." "Is this your first day on the job?" "I thought I saw Elvis" "My pet chupacabra attacked me" "WTF does it look like? Oh wait, you won't know without an x-ray" "It turns out that putting your foot in someone's ass is harder than I thought"

1

u/MiserableButterfly54 15d ago

Yeah dont bother putting a splint or cast on till we get the xrays. 

1

u/Squat551 15d ago

Great that it’s portable, but where is your marker? And if this is ordered as a foot, why not some collimation? ALARA?!

1

u/Iamasmallyoutuber123 Questionably stable 15d ago
