Dr. Mudd's Diagnosis

Do I not recall that Dr. Mudd initially diagnosed the injury as a fracture of the tibia? We know absolutely that it was of the fibula, so doesn't his diagnosis say something about his competence, at least as it relates to fractures and the anatomy of the leg? Or did he just mis-speak because he was under a great deal of pressure when he was giving his statements?

Good points, and the first one serves to reinforce my idea that Mudd did not thoroughly FEEL the leg or manipulate it to determine what was broken or damaged. He may have just assumed that yanking it into place and splinting it would cure the problem and let him get back to sleep (or figure out a way to get the assassin to the next agent).
