American president-elect Joe Biden has fractured his right foot after slipping while playing with his dog Major.

The injury was discovered in a scan on Sunday and will likely require him to wear a boot for several weeks, his doctor said.

Biden suffered the injury on Saturday and visited an orthopedist in Newark, Delaware, on Sunday afternoon, his office said.

“Initial x-rays did not show any obvious fracture,” but medical staff ordered a more detailed CT scan, his doctor, Kevin O’Connor, said in a statement. The subsequent scan found tiny fractures of two small bones in the middle of his right foot, O’Connor said.

“It is anticipated that he will likely require a walking boot for several weeks,” O’Conner said.

Le premier pas pour Sauver la Planete, c’est d’abord d’en reconnaitre
concretement l’existence et de s’assurer de son etat. Ici, c’est deja
un bon debut.
Et ici, Major s’assure bien de l’Etat de son ami, il fait du bon boulot!

PS: Un petit conseil- Ici, il faudrait dire a Major… que le medecin… c’est a l’hopital pas chez un veterinaire… mais on lui pardonne tout, tellement il est sympa. Major a peut-etre pense que les hopitaux sont surcharges ces temps-ci a cause du corona virus… et il s’est dit que en attendant cela devrait aller…
