You came from the same school as me..... Fractures... No matter the bone, do not warrant a Cast in my opinion, and stitches are only appropriate when Duct Tape cant handle the job... :-)

I have been to the Emergency Room by ambulance far more times than I ever have by my own choice.

I strongly believe that whatever doesn't kill me, will only make me stronger :-)

Fractures... No matter the bone, do not warrant a Cast in my opinion, and stitches are only appropriate when Duct Tape cant handle the job... :-)

I think I came to that conclusion after I broke an elbow at age 6. I had a heavy plaster cast for that. I was in serious pain for weeks. Then the doctor discovered that my pain was because the cast was cutting a serious groove in my arm.

Many doctors treat fractures with "soft casts" these days. Not much different from duct tape.
BTW, I do get stitches if the cut is someplace where I don't want a scar. Head and face have had stitches - knees and arms have scars. :-)
