Jeebus Howard Christmas. My wife broke her leg in two places Tuesday in what's called a Maisonneuve fracture, where tension on a ligament breaks both the fibula near the knee AND an ankle bone on the other side. It's fairly common, and requires surgery. AND EVERY ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON SHE'S SPOKEN TO SPECIALIZES ONLY IN KNEES OR ANKLES, AND CAN'T FIX BOTH! So she's spent two days in pain, immobilized, unable to obtain care, just making phone call after phone call without success.
