I broke my leg! or not…

Last Friday my class had the opportunity to participate in a casting lab put on by a few of our faculty and some local healthcare providers. Let’s just say we had a blast…as I am sure you can see from the pictures.

We learned how to splint both the arm and leg, as well as how to make a arm cast. Not only did we learn how to make a cast but we also learned how to use the saw and cut them off. I was pretty nervous at first but was a pro in no time. This is just another thing I love about this school—all the opportunities provided to us before we go out on rotations to fully prepare us.

Just thought you all would enjoy the pictures. Have a great week!

    Those are the happiest looking people in casts ever, haha! The saw part must have been a bit scary.

    That was a great opportunity for all of you to be a part of the lab. The training provided to all of you will prove to be useful in future. These are some of the basic first aid given to a patient after an accident. You all might face such situations in a playground or in the dance class. So keep all these useful tips in mind. Bye.
