Btw. Last night my 7 year old broke her arm running through the house tripping over her own shoes that I'm constantly remind her not to leave laying around.
After the x-rays came back and it was time to splint her arm till I get her scheduled with an orthopedic early next week, the kid that was responsible for casting her was fumbling around demonstrating a lack of confidence and a lack of knowledge of the materials he was working with to make the splint when my daughter was asking him what everything was (gauze, water-activated casting materials)
So basically he fumbled around until I took the lead and formed the splint material to her arm, 90d her elbow (fracture is on the "flange" of the humerus just above the elbow), and held the splint in place while it hardened after tearing off a small piece and telling my daughter to notify me when that piece was rock hard and dry. After placing the splint I touch tested her fingertips, told her to wiggle em around and to tell us if there was any tingling or pinching sensation within the splint.
Needless to say, the guy was asking how I knew about all this; told him I've broken my arms at least 7 times growing up skating, and that I was a bio major and chem minor who just didn't decide to go the next route; turns out he was too.
