2.Bruising. Bruising on chest over pacemaker site, resolving. Still tender to the touch. Chest x-ray confirms that pacemaker leads are intact and pacemaker battery pack is undamaged.
3. Fracture of 5th toe of left foot, initial encounter. Lower limb x-ray done before this visit. The x-ray report and image was viewed. The image confirms fracture of 5th toe of the left foot. Completed fracture care with buddy strapping of toes. SIGNED: D. K. Williams, MD
