I say you should break into the patients house and look for more clues…it usually works on House MD.

I see what you’re talking about. Good call, but there was no fracture there.

You talking about the calcified blood vessels on the volar surface of the forearm? The alarm is just caught on an angle in the x-ray film.

Is that a PortaCath that migrated? It is something under the skin.

The watch that is shown in the x ray was causing venous stasis and resulting edema.

Please, make sure that the swelling from the constriction of the tracking band does not lead into Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) formerly known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSDS).

Mine came from an overly tight Spica Thumb Splint; the compression bandage of which had to be dug out of my arm, and the splint pried off.
