Depending on the symptoms, the doctor may need to run a few non-invasive imaging tests on the injured foot. The most common tests are x-rays, CT (Computerized Tomography) scans, and MRIs (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). These techniques allow the doctor to examine the foot for broken bones and monitor the bones as they heal. In many cases, surgery is not necessary for proper treatment of a broken foot. Often the hospital will put the foot in a hard cast and/or provide crutches to keep the weight off the foot. The doctor will likely advise you to keep the foot elevated and ice the injury to prevent swelling and re-injury. When using crutches, put your weight on your arms and hands. Do not put all your weight on your armpits, which could hurt the nerves that are in your underarms. Follow your doctor's orders! Failure to comply with keeping your weight off the foot is the number one cause of delayed healing and re-injury for fractures. You may be advised to take over-the-counter NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflamatory Drugs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve). These will help reduce the pain and swelling associated with the healing process. If you are scheduled to undergo surgery you may need to stop taking medication a week before the surgery takes place. Consult with your doctor or surgeon. Take the smallest dose possible to manage your pain. Stop taking NSAIDs after 10 days to avoid complications. Your doctor may also recommend upping your consumption of calcium and vitamin D, which are both crucial for bone health. For most foot injuries, your doctor will try to give your foot time to heal itself by putting on a cast and limiting your activity. In some cases, though, your injured foot may need a manipulation (known as an ORIF, or open reduction internal fixation) if the broken ends of the bone are misaligned. This involves the movement of the bone into the proper alignment, after which pins are passed through the skin to hold the bone in place while it heals. The healing process for a reduction takes an average of 6 weeks, after which the pins are easily removed. In more severe cases you may need surgery to implant screws or rods to keep the foot in position while it heals. Even if your injury doesn't require surgery, an orthopedic doctor or podiatric surgeon will be able to monitor the healing process. In the event of re-injury or other impairments to the healing process, the doctor will prescribe the appropriate treatment, therapy, or surgery.

Use your experience and knowledge to give advice to new employees and help them get to know the company quicker. This will set you apart as someone who cares about the company and wants to help others succeed there as well. For instance, if you see a new employee is having a hard time with a particular client, offer them advice on how to deal with that specific client. You can also offer tips for how to handle certain projects or processes that you have experience with. You can even offer to take a new employee out to lunch and answer any questions they have about the company and how things work. Look for tasks you can perform that will lighten your boss' workload. Be proactive and offer to take over duties without your boss asking you to do so. Try to find out what tasks your boss really doesn't like doing and start doing those. They will start to rely on you more and more and will make sure the company retains you so they don't have to go back to doing those tasks. For example, if there is a client report that you know is particularly time consuming and your boss doesn't like to do, then offer to take over the task of putting that report together for them. Look for problems that affect the whole company, your team, or your department. Come up with solutions and actions that can be taken to address those problems and present them to decision makers. Identify the cause of the problem and think of all the possible solutions. Weigh the pros and cons of every solution you can come up with, and then choose the best one to present with a rational and action plan. For example, if you see that a particular set of reports is taking up a lot of unnecessary time for your team, then try to find a way to automate those and present the solution to your manager. This can be something as small as offering your expertise in excel or helping someone get the printer to work. Helping out your fellow employees with even the littlest things will make you more indispensable to those around you. If you see someone on your team is going to have to stay late because they need to do something like manually enter some data in a spreadsheet, offer to help them out to cut the time it will take in half. Someday, they might even return the favor! You don't have to only help people with similar job duties. For example, if you see the secretary is carrying a load of stuff to the front desk, offer to help out!
