Sorry. Just got out of a trauma case. Guy got his forearm caught in an engine lathe. Didn't break the skin, but it did break his ulna in 3 places and the radius in the mid-shaft. Got to put in two plates (with 13 screws) and a K-wire.
Plus, he woke up with no pain. Totally surprised on that last bit. I didn't think he'd do too well, based upon how he was when I met him yesterday (and that he declined an axillary block for post-op pain control).
