Break a leg

Code 2 for leg pain.

This admitted alcoholic says he broke his left leg a week ago, and the cast is too tight. He’s also complaining that he can’t walk on his left leg.

“Sir, you know you’re not supposed to put any weight on your left leg since you broke it, right? That’s why they gave you crutches.”

“Yeah, but I can’t walk on it. It hurts when I stand or walk on it.”

Sometimes you just can’t explain some things to some people.
