I was quite interested in the recent story that Ann Curry was hiking in New York and was "rescued" by a group of boy scouts. There are two reasons for this interest. First, as is the topic of this blog, I am a podiatrist treating conditions of the foot and ankle. The second reason is something not everyone may know about me; I was a boy scout. In fact, I am an Eagle Scout.
I remember learning how to splint ankles and my first aid training but never had to put it into action like these young men. I found it even more of a feel good story that most of these guys didn't even know that they were helping a celebrity. Kudos to these young men!
