[QUOTE="Gunther, post: 997009, member: 44143"] Maybe I can grant a bit of insight, of course maybe not. I have been a Paramedic for the last 15 years or so and was an EMT for 5 years before that. Why they let you walk and support your own arm with a clav frac? Upper extremities are kinda tough to splint because they require you move them ever so slightly, with your injury a sling and swathe with padding between your arm and body is really the only way. You'd have to hold still. As you are walking believe me YOU know where it feels best, you will self splint and you will get upset with a medic that tries to position your arm for you. After you're sitting and with your help and/or his partner the medic can make you more comfortable. Pain meds. Advil and the like are not approved for medics usually where Morphine is. Might sound strange but I can reverse Mo' fine a whole lot better than Ibuprofen. Here a difference in Medical Control can make a difference if you get pain meds. A lot of docs don't think clavs warrant analgesia. Not transporting. The only thing I can figure is they had orders not to and to wait for another rig. [/QUOTE]
