Seriously, it is not even Christmas yet and I have just sent my second forearm fracture to the ED. Plus two others who fractured their arms at home (one of which did not get seen by a doc until I insisted mom take him...but that is another story). Before this year I averaged only one per year, I am scared that the year is not even halfway over and I am on my second one! On the bright side I am getting pretty good at splinting. We have those cool blow up air splints, but they are always too big (even the child size).
So, how many fractures does your school average per year, and how many students do you have (I have about 500).
