Our tribute

Our tribute, originally uploaded by mattcotham.

This is our tribute to the Millenium bridge there in Denver, spanning

the lovely South Platte. This poor guy was with us for almost a month

after he got his leg straightened out by our visiting orthopedist; he

has an external fixator on the outside which we've covered in plaster so

that it can't be messed with. His English was pretty much limited to 'I

go home now today?', which I guess was a useful phrase while in the

hospital, although one that didn't produce the desired results until

today, when he got to go with an interesting looking cast that

incorporated all that plaster you see there. You can see my erstwhile

surgical colleagues peering in on the next patient in the background.
