Is it safe for me to lifeguard a week after a minor ankle fracture?

No!!!!!!!: If you have to ru and save someone with a minor ankle fracture, you take the risk of breaking open the bone completely or hurting the other bones around the area and then having to have surgery. Be smart and listen to your doctor.
