No signs of fracture for Axel, a control radio will be needed, but not urgently. “It is sure that it is delicate, the teleconsultation. It is an act that is degraded, we do not have the physical evaluation. We manage to interpret all the elements, and so I think we still have an answer that is quite appropriate in relation to the request.“, explains Dr. Urfan Ashraf.
