I think is because they dont wanna freak the patient out

[RRomeo]

Give em sum Hennessy an tell em to walk it off.

Get well soon bro.

[mitchellcastillo]

Well I've always gone with if it's the direction it's supposed to be still it's fractured. If it's literally bent like a new joint, that there's a break

[LBMSNAGZ]

My mom: he broke his foot

Me: look mom I made a K

[leeriley]

Oh that just gave me chills because I'm actually healing from a leg break exactly like that

[lilliawolf]

I hate it when a doctor is like i don’t want to say something is something when it’s obvious just because I might be wrong .
I spent a week trying to get treatment for my 3rd degree full thickness burn. And the er docs told me; it’s healing normally that’s how it’s supposed to look (it was green oozing and had an odor) it’s less then one % the burn center won’t do anything ( it was on the part of the hand between thumb and pointer finger on my left hand ( I am Ambidextrous and couldn’t move my hand it hurt to bad) it was also on my forearm and my face by my lip)

I finally get to burn center and they were like when did this happen? A week ago? Didn’t you go to the er ?? 3 times they said you wouldn’t do anything because it was “healing normally” and was “less then one %” saw the nurses eye twitch and the doctor wanted to get me in that day to clean it up had to go in next day due to having eaten something.

Doing better but might need additional surgery on hand due to pain and some loss of muscle strength and range of motion but I believe that’s more due to severity of burn rather then delayed treatment

But due to the er docs treatment of this being normal I did almost stop trying to get treatment, my mom forced me to go back one more time and they said go to burn center as soon as possible

I think your the handsome dr meme guy!

[whizz.]

Or what grade of fracture like
Primary or secondary

[josephmartinez]

Love his stethoscope now that's a good one

[BearNecessities]

We would never give specifics on the ambulance because some people freak out and can injure themselves and/or us. In a moving vehicle you need to keep patient calm. We leave that to docs in ER!

Had a biker freak out and hit the new guy, who told him his femur was sticking out of his chaps. He broke his wrist on the guard rail slamming it down screaming and he broke new guys nose..we later found out, he was on PCP! New guy learned his lesson the hard way. That was one hell of a call! Ughh

[CursedJade]

Never mind you were right I was thinking of sprained

[BoneMellow]

I thought a fracture was just when the bone gets splintered or broken, but stays in about the same place, and a break is when it's actually twisted or bent in a wrong direction.

[Đumß_ğüý]

Me: hits my foot on my trampoline dad:your fine. Dr:you broke your heel probably gonna need surgery 💀

[cowgirl]

Mom had an open compound fx of her left wrist 10 years ago. The pain from that was horrible.

[loolafly]

I had a severe compound fracture of the radius and ulna when I was 15. Both bones were badly deformed and I had to get multiple surgeries, skin graft, nitrogen therapy to reduce scarring, it also got infected. I just remember all the doctors asking what went into my skin where the open wound was. My arm had a friggin hump in it.
Now I’m left with quite a big scar and when I move my fingers you can see the tendons contract and move. Wigs people out all the time 😂😂😂

[ToastykisCool]

Him: is it opened or closed
Me: what... Idk, what does that mean
Him: 😅

[slifer]

"Somethin' ain't right, I'll tell ya that."

[georgemorrison]

Used to be fracture or compound fracture. Changing language to male things simple or dumbing things down. You be the judge

[tinydancer]

In England they would have broken out the ole nitrous oxide for you. You would have been feeling real good.

[CursedJade]

Broken and fractured or not the same thing broken is your bone fractured is your ligament
