Christmas in Urgent Care - Part Four - Die Hard - with Dr Zoë Cruse
Friday Dec 31, 2021
Friday Dec 31, 2021
Our fourth Urgent Care at Christmas discussion is inspired by a film that changed modern action thrillers and bucked the trend of action heroes being muscle-bound giants. Die Hard has long been considered a Christmas classic but the reason it has made our urgent care list is that it shows a common and very painful presentation to urgent care. The glass foreign body in the foot. To talk about the Welsh tradition of Mari Lwyd, singing carols, Alan Rickman and the pain of injecting the sole of the foot we are joined by Dr Zoë Cruse.

Why is it called the malleolus? It is interesting that what our patients might perceive as complicated medical words are actually just simple descriptive terms coined by ancient anatomists.
