I like these educational videos. I really hate the blow-hard know-it-all comments that inevitably pop up though.

This is a sling demo not a total assessment, so PMS is not the focus but assumed here.. This is exactly how it is done. Remeber the patient will be transported and transfer of care will be passsed on to the hospital. Good job guys

i had a broken collar bone once in the late 2009's throught early 2010's in 2011 and this year i was all fine now!

rubbish!for a shoulder or collarbone injury you need to place the arm in an elevation sling which supports the arm in a much higher position.thats an arm sling for lower arm fractures

[koolkidsklub]

you also wanna make sure the person's hand is raised higher than their elbow in the sling
