Interview the patient

You kneel down to talk to the patient.

Bob: "Hello sir, my name is Bob, I'm with the ambulance service. What hurts?"

Patient: "ERR.... the...leg..."

The guy is in a significant amount of pain. His face is pale and sweaty, and he answers your questions through clenched teeth, seemingly unable to speak more than a couple of words at a time. He is devoting all his energy to keeping his composure as he grasps his leg tightly. His pale sweaty face stares at the thigh. He's not going to give you much information.
