Climbing injury

I was climbing in the Wind River mountains of Wyoming. I was roped off when I fell causing me to swing violently into the cliff face. Bringing up my legs to try and soften the blow caused a severe injury to my ankle. I knew immediately I needed medical attention. We were a full days hike to the trailhead. As I struggled down the trail with the help of my climbing partner we came across a physician on a day hike. He had a rhino rescue splint in his kit. He fasten the splint to my ankle. Allowing me to walk with less pain and at a quicker pace. Even though I was moving slowly and with pain without the splint it could have taken two days to get out of there. After getting back into town and seeking medical attention I was told I tore my achilles tendon. I believe without the rhino rescue splint I could have caused more damage to my injury and quite possibly could have needed the help from search and rescue to get to civilization. I now carry a rhino rescue splint in my kit every time I venture out into the back country.
