Re: Impaled Cyclist
The +2 (a way of documenting pulse strength) was marked there on his foot for his dorsal pedal pulse. With any kind of leg injury, it is important to know whether or not the vasculature is intact. To do so in the foot, you must check the dorsal pedal and posterior tibial pulses. They mark it so that it can be easily found/checked each time someone comes to check on him.
