We get on scene and find that our patient has broken both arms. Right arm is broken at the mid-humerus and the radius. Left arm has a fractured radius. All I can think of is, "How is this poor person going to wipe heir butt? :confused5::confused5:

Last time I broke my left arm I was in a cast for 7 weeks. I can't imagine what hell a body cast for 8 weeks was like.

I knew a guy that was on drywall stilts and fell. He claimed, his wife wiped his butt for 2 months. :monkeybutt:

This thread makes me say ouch! And needing to wipe ones butt with two broken arms is turrible....jus turrible. With that, dignity will have to take a back seat for a while.

Just buy one of them fully automatic butt rinsing, blow dry toilets! I'm guessing he'll be in the hospital for a while with both arms out of action. You kinda need them for most stuff.....:flush: :sneaks: :issues: :bathing: etc.
