After going for an x-ray scan, it becomes clear that Mia has a fracture in her femur bone - the longest and strongest bone in the body.

Damn she didn't look like she was in pain at all. My friend broke her femur and she was SCREAMING. Every little movement caused her to screch

I love how she’s hurt badly, but she’s still smiling and acting very chill. She’s so brave.

What lovely children! I also like the way the doctor talked to the 12-year-old as if she were an adult. She deserves to feel involved in the decision making.

I was a volunteer EMT and I heard many times that the femur bone is the most painful bone to break, so this girl is straight up tough. I'd be cryin' as a full grown adult.

I love that they talked to her about her options and not just the mom.

The older sister probably feels terrible about injuring her sister as well.

This brings tears to my eyes. My son attempted a new trick on a trampoline breaking both bones in his underarm, through the skin. He had surgery that day to place a metal rod into each bone, the entire length of each. Just a few days ago, 4 months later, he just had surgery to remove the two metal rods. All this during a global pandemic. He did and is doing great. Me, the mother is still a little worse for wear.

Blessings to all the amazing doctors and nurses out there.

my dad broke his femur when he was riding his motorcycle and crashed so he didn’t hit a dog on the road

She handled it like a champ and made it look painless

Breaking your femur is no joke. It's the most painful break imaginable and takes the most force to break. How this girl had a smile on her face is beyond me. Holy crap she's tough.

When Demi smiled for the x-ray 🥺❤

Idk how she is so calm. I've broken my femur twice I never been in so much pain. Body went into shock and I was out of it. I have fibrous dysplasia and how she handled the break was mind blowing for me. Truly amazing. I need the drugs you guys have over there. My stress fractures I get on a regular basis have me in more pain than her, tough kid

Aberdeens Children’s hospital is the best hospital in the world. Whenever I go there everyone is so nice. The staff is nice. My brother has had to go there since forever. I’m pretty sure there was a nurse in this program looked after my brother when he was in there, like ages ago. Honestly couldn’t recommend this children hospital any more.

She’s so calm and doesn’t even look in pain

What a brave young lady. Kudos to the blessed child and her little sister. God bless them and keep them safe.

I made a joke to myself that the narrator sounded like David Tennant. I then told myself it probably wasn't because I'm just not very used to strong scottish accents, but then I found it it really is David Tennant lol.
