On my second day at the hospital, I had witnessed a very young patient that needed to be intubated. It was a very sad sight, with the patient's family there watching as their son is suffering. This patient had a consistent stroke, which was extremely painful to watch as he looked as if he was suffering. On that second day I had also witnessed a car accident case, where teenagers were in a car accident and one of the boys had broken his arm. As the tests came back from the x-ray room, it showed that his growth plates were still intact, showing that this patient was still growing. The doctor needed to critically think about the best way to deal with the situation. Thus she decided to splint the patient. She had used several ace bandages and plasters. After everything was ready she started to reduce the arm. The patient was soon released.
