For some reason vividly reminded of a high altitude mountaineer's recounting of what happened when a nurse at a party asked to see his frostbitten toe.

She fainted when the dog ate the toe after she dropped it on the floor when the toe came off in her fingers.

Not sure why I know that story? But it is totally Aadams Family vibe.
 
Yep, she's broken/sprained alright, don't need a doctor for that diagnosis. And 9 times out of 10 there is no point in medical care or a cast or splint of any kind.

I've had the purple peanut on every one of my toes, some more than once.

Heal quickly mi amigo.
There is a new invention for this type of injury. It's a miniature truss that fits around the toe with a series of small rods similar to the innards of an umbrella. It's called TOERT (pronounced TORT). The new Therapeutic Outer Extremity Repair Truss is designed specifically for bassists who have unfortunate close encounters with speaker cabs and bare feet. It is available in a variety of sizes to ensure a comfortable fit. Standard colors include white, black, and tort.
