A member asked:
My mum kicked her pinky toe and it snapped on a right angle but she grabbed it and pulled it straight. does she still need to see a doc?

Yes: Just to have x-rays to make sure the toe is not broken. She has already relocated the toe but she may have a fracture which is really easy to treat.
