Mentoring/Service hours 2

Date of Service: April 19, 2011              Time Spent: 2 Hours           Total Time: 4 Hours

Action: - Other interns and I continued to study the shoulder.
            - We helped an injured athlete

Next action: The next day on the 20th we are suppost to practice how to wrap anathlete with an achilles tendon injury.

How am I doing? The other interns and I helped out an athlete at Skyline College that hurt himself playing baseball. We checked out his ankle and it turned out to be a slight tear in a ligament. Earlier in the semester I was taught the different bones and ligaments in the ankle and we told him he had a slight tear in his anterior talofibular ligament which connects his talus and his fibula in the front side of his ankle. We started with wrapping his ankle with ice and told him to come back the next day for treatment since it was a new injury.
