Doctor has a runner with a stress fracture for 2 months

I was just given a talk at the International Foot and Ankle Foundation's 40th Annual Hawaii Seminar. And at the end of the session, we got a couple of questions from the audience during the live Q&A for the doctors. A doctor in the audience she had a runner who is one of her patients.  This runner had been basically running on a mild stress fracture, which I would really consider a stress reaction, for a period of about two months but wanted to do a race.  Today on the Doc on the Run Podcast, we're talking about what a doctor should do when she is helping a runner with a stress fracture who has been running on it for 2 months and still wants to run a race.
