rocknev 2 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 my bro is 53 yrs old, loves his 5.2mt streaker boat, is a gun on the whiting, but choses the rocks to fish for snapper and leaves the boat at home... he like me, enjoys the challendge of landing a knobbie from the stones... just rang him, and hes feeling down in the dumps... all they can do is sling it, and offer pain relief, and he will be out of action for a minimum of 6 weeks... hes booked a family houseboat on the murray for him and his family in the middle of jan... so hes at least hoping to be fit and well enough to do that,,, he should be right though....wish i could crack a can on christmas day, but im working instead... the joys of shiftwork Quote Link to post Share on other sites

afishyfish 4 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 he also broke his arm.. humourous bone' date=' and the doctor didnt see it broken on the exrays... words fail me...[/quote']Its bloody amazing what the medicos miss sometimes :side: After being hit by a speeding car while trying to rescue another hit-run victim, I ended up in the QEH for about 8 weeks. The first week or so I was only just concious, but soon afterwards, despite pain from my other injuries ( haemorraged spleen, haemmoraged liver, broken and dislocated knee and badly twisted shoulder, apart from the cuts and bruises ) I noticed my left ankle didnt feel quite right.I mentioned it to the registrar three or so times and was ignored, so rang my GP, who insisted on another Xray, and sure enough, theer was a spiral fracture in it :whistle: Why that didnt get picked up in the initial Scans in emergency I dont know, unless they just wanted to make sure I wasnt going to bleed out first Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Usually in rural centres, the emergency cover is provided by GPs or SMOs and not orthopedic specialists. Also sometimes with only hard films the quality of the images is poor.Most simple fractures to the upper humerus are treated conservatively, with a sling so at least it has healed. The next step will be physiotherapy.If your brother has private cover, I would definitely suggest seeing a private specialist or orthopod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
