There was a slight pause, followed by a chuckle down the line and she said, "It's more commonly known as a stubbed toe". . .

So, in just a few posts, your story went from, "fractured leg" to a, errm. . . "stubbed toe". . .

I've got to hand it to you, you and your wife not only deserve the upgrade, you should get an Oscar!!!

Priceless! Just priceless!

Here is the defination of stubed toe and is for your doctor friend who chuckles and it is from Wikipedia,
A sprain or strain to the small interphalangeal joints of the toe is commonly called a stubbed toe.

For your doctor friend`s information and for free advice she gave to you, in reality my wife has a sesamoid bone fracture and not a sprain which was picked up on the Xray and on the subsequent bone scan, yet again this goes on to prove that the kind of advice you get depends on what you pay for it. Further would love to envisage her face when the chuckle turns to a frown.
