In this simulated sprain injury clip Lia is a star athlete who is brought into the ER after twisting her ankle badly. Her leg has been stabilized with a bandage and metal frame and she'd been given some extra oxygen because she's hyperventilating. the doctor comes in and gingerly cuts through the bandage to check her ankle and when he does the standard rotation she winces painfully. In the next scene she is in a hospital bed and her leg has now been secured to a traction stabilizer. The nurse comes in to check her catheter and check each of her toes to see if she has feeling. It’s still painful and she is told she will need a weight on the end of the leg stabilizer to extend the muscle, so it heels properly. In a few days she is feeling better and ready to eat solid foods. The nurse checks her toes again as she chows down and then she does some reading. Her friend comes to visit and lifts her spirits as she checks out Lia's leg in the traction device and they discuss her injury. By this time Lia is animate and smiling happy for the visit taking her mind off her ankle injury. (Extra footage).
