Would you know how to set a fractured leg in an emergency situation? Here’s one take on how firstaid :http://www.backpacker.com/first-aid-manual-fractured-leg/slideshows/48
Comment #1: Just a heads up, thats not really “setting” the fracture, thats simply splinting a leg. Setting needs to be done by a hospital.
Comment #2: You don’t “set” a fracture in the field, you splint a fracture. And, yes I do know how to.
Comment #3: Shoot him. Put him out of his misery.
Comment #4: yes, and yes, and no it’s not any fun especially when it’s an open fracture 3 hours from the nearest medical facility.
