Working in a hospital that specializes in cardiac cases, it always a learning experience for me taking on new cases. Like being assigned to a patient who broke her left should and was diagnosed close fracture humeral head, left. I learned from the ortho-surgeon that it is not being operated on. Instead, an arm-sling will just be in place at all times and the patient will be on anti inflammatory medications for a long time. It is different from the aircast-airsport-ankle-brace that is being used on some who has dislocated or snapped ankles.
