[Scout #1:]Oh my gosh Lauren! I really need your help!
[Scout #2:]Kristy, relax! What happened?
[Scout #1:]I need your first aid skills! I hurt myself!
[Scout #2:]Okay Kristy, in what way?
Kristy touches each spot, using pointer finger each time, as she describes it
[Scout #1:]When I press my stomach it hurts so much!
[Scout #1:]When I press my shoulder it hurts so much!
[Scout #1:]When I press my jaw it hurts so much!
[Scout #2:]Oh wow! I'm befuddled...
[Scout #2:]I've never heard of this before!
[Scout #2:]DOCTOR! DOCTOR, HELP!
Doctor comes on stage
[Doctor:]Hi Lauren, what happened?
[Scout #2:]Something's wrong with Kristy!
Kristy touches each spot, using pointer finger each time, as she describes it
[Scout #1:]When I press my stomach it hurts so much!
[Scout #1:]When I press my shoulder it hurts so much!
[Scout #1:]When I press my jaw it hurts so much!

[Doctor:]Unless you have a broken finger!
