You Remove His Sock And Find A Large Hematoma Forming
You remove his sock and find a large hematoma forming on the lateral aspect of an already swollen ankle. The ankle also shows the color of a bruise that is several days old. You inquire about D.M.'s pain perception. He states, “It doesn't feel too bad now, but I sure saw stars when it popped.” What is the significance of his statement?
