During an NCC camp - student and doctor conversation

Student : Doctor, a couple of days ago while trekking, I slipped. I have pain in my ankle. I’m not able to walk. I’m limping about.

Doctor : Let me see.

Student : Ouch! It hurts.

Doctor : Your ankle is swollen badly.

Student : Do you think it could be a fracture? The pain is unbearable.

Doctor : Looks like a sprain. Still it’s better to go in for an x-ray. You can go to the adjacent lab and have it x-rayed. (Student comes back with the x-ray)

Doctor : Let me look at the x-ray. Mmm...... Fortunately, you haven’t fractured your ankle. It’s only a sprain. I’ll prescribe some tablets to relieve the pain. In case the pain is very bad you can apply this gel. Take rest for three to four days. Don’t move about much.

Student : Doctor, next week we have our sports meet. I’m in the relay team. Will I be able to participate?

Doctor : Why not? In three or four days you should be fit.

Student : Thank you, doctor.
