The leg that was not restrained, Walt gently lifted up and placed it on his shoulder. He slowly bent it backward toward Elton's body, causing more pressure against the pelvic area.

Elton was gasping for breath—it felt like his lower half of his body had just been ripped into.
Walt let his right leg ease back down and laid it on the exam table. He walked around, took the pressure off of the left leg that was stretched tightly, and looked at his patient.
