My wife took a fall in the kitchen yesterday and broke her wrist. It's a pretty bad break and is on her left wrist and she is left handed. Apparently she does quite a bit around here as I am finding out.
Four and half hour wait to get an Ortho guy in the ER yesterday. I could of flown the guy in from Miami to Boston. They were not busy they didn't have a Ortho. They kept telling us it will be about 30 minutes while she laid there bone over bone. When he finally showed he was a Doctors Assistant. Do I get a discount?
Anyway he set it and wrapped it all up in a soft cast. He said she will need a hard cast when they check it next week. She may or may not need surgery we don't know yet. She slept good last night but was in pain this morning. I gave her the pain med and it put her out.
I dunno whats going on in America today. I live in a middle class suburb of Boston. Good town. Hospital ER is thrown for a loop because someone comes in with a break? I first went to Urgent Care and they said it was too complicated a break for them. Then when I am trying to get the pain med a lady about my age, in her 60's, not a spring chicken, asked if I could give her a few of the Oxycodones I was getting.:shrug:
