Broken Arm And Didn’t Know It!
Cases from real life consistently beat fiction and from Taneatua we hear the following. While Messrs. A. Carling and Vic Allen were lecturing a number of boys comprising a First Aid class, one young fellow asked them to look at his arm which he.said had been injured in a recent football game and about which he had been afraid to say anything to his parents in case they stopped him playing in future games. A brief examination showed that the arm was broken and badly swollen and to the amazement of the two St. John officers, the youth declared that it was not unduly painful, and that he had played football with it in its injured condition. He was removed to the Whakatane hospital where the arm had to be re-broken in order to gain a clean knit. He is reported to be doing'well.
