“Argh!” Linda yelped out in pain. “Dr. Stafford, it hurts!”

“Relax,” said Seth. He touched her ankle a few times, and after ascertaining her condition, he said, “Your joint just dislocated. You didn’t hurt your bone. Don’t worry. I’ll help you put it back in place. You’ll be fine soon!”

“Huh? You—”

Before Linda could say anything, Seth grabbed her ankle and twisted it.

“I don’t have my instruments with me, so I can only give you some basic treatment,” said Seth. “Your ankle is swollen, so remember to put some ice on it when you get home. Also, don’t do any strenuous exercise for a few days so that the joint doesn’t get dislocated again.”

“Okay.”
