What Would You Do If You Had To Assess a Broken Arm

Ok, forgive me but as a 9-1-1 dispatcher I felt I had to post How To Properly Assess A Broken Arm. You would be amazed at how many people call 9-1-1 when dealing with a broken arm, or any bone for that matter, and have done some crazy things. I have had people call and, while telling them not to splint any injuries, tell me that they have already tied their shirt around the break or have already stuck the arm in ice. OMG! Don't do it! You can end up making things so much worse then they are.
