It's Monday morning and Mr Smith has gone to see the doctor.
Doctor:	Hello Mr Smith. We haven't seen you in a while. What seems to be the problem?
Mr Smith	Well, I fell off the ladder whilst I was decorating and hurt my ankle. It swelled up and hasn't gone down since.
Doctor:	OK - let's have a look, take off your shoe and sock and roll up your trouser leg. (Examines ankle) Ah yes, I think we had better send you to the hospital to get this X-rayed. You may have broken a bone.
Mr Smith:	What? You're joking! No wonder it hurts so much.
