When walking your dog on a cold, snow covered, Chicago night, make sure you are not heavily intoxicated.
A patient came in with a terribly broken ankle, caused from a fall while walking her dog one night. A nasty, compound fracture with bone sticking out and blood all over the place. Just moving her to the table made quite the mess.
Ironically, some weeks earlier she had broken that same ankle. You should have seen those X-ray's when we were all done with her. There must have been nearly 20 screws and 2 plates.
Ironically, she's a nurse at another hospital. Who says health care professionals know how to take care of themselves?
Walk your dog, but make sure you are not wasted. From what I have seen or been told, walking can be hard enough when un-sober.
