What's wrong Dexter's statement?
The anatomic location is completely wrong!
Anatomists all over the world were cringing when they heard Dexter say this! Hey Dexter scriptwriters, if your looking for a medical consultant, I got your back!!!
How would you correct the mistake?
Dexter should say "The foot was severed through the distal end of the tibia and fibula."
