• Rib Troubles

Hey everyone, just lookin for a little help today. You see; my father just coughed loudly and it was followed quickly by a loud scream. Startled, I ran from my room to his aid. It appears that he coughed and somehow fractured or hurt his left rib in some way. He describes it as if every time he tries to move, it knocks the wind out of him. I need help. I have already told him to go to the doctor and he wants that to be last resort. I'm sixteen and have tried many different sites and tried to find remedies. (Before anyone asks, no he is not old...he's 40) and this is a totally new experience for everyone in my home. Can anyone help me with this? Has anyone had a similar experience who can tell me what they did to fix it...because I feel pretty damn bad sitting here while he screams in pain every time he tries to move.
Call 911?
Get off the internet and go to the fucking doctor.
He probably broke a rib. Bring him to a doctor, have them give him some pain killers, then let it heal up.
Go to the hospital, dumbass. He needs morphine, all of it.
He is stubborn. He wants that to be last resort (money thing). I forgot to mention that in the above post. Will do now.
Your best bit is probably to get off your computer and call 911. Get this man to a hospital!
911 right now!
A part of his rib is cutting into a lung or blood vessel. Without immediate medical attention, he could die.
just drive him to the ER if he's being stubborn about ambulance costs
Go to the damn hospital!
[QUOTE=DeerBattler;19164955]He is stubborn. He wants that to be last resort (money thing). I forgot to mention that in the above post. Will do now.[/QUOTE] Well if he's going to be tacanio then give him some ibuprofen and tell him not to move. If he injures himself more it's his own damn fault.
Depending on the severity of the rib fracture, he could be in for some serious trouble if he doesn't get professional help quickly. OP I HIGHLY suggest calling 911 pronto.
If he's short of breath, he could have punctured his lung. Fuck him and his cheap personality, get him to the hospital. He'll thank you later.
protip we are not fucking 9-11, call the fucking doctor or something
Hmm... My father is having terrible pains in his chest every time he moves... I know! Let me post this on Facepunch! Because I know that [i]all[/i] of Facepunch is a registered doctor/nurse. /sarcasm Seriously, go to a freaking doctor. As was said before, HE COULD DIE. Faith... in humanity... dying... slowly... So cold.
Have some shaman of sorts diagnose him if the doctor is a no go. :3:

Ask the Soldier, hes good with ribs and such.
Sounds like it's Gaudempealment. You'll need some asparagus and cod, whip this in a [B]GRANITE[/B] bowl, it has to be granite. pour two table spoons of salt into the bowl. Then read this: "Isk hauil tentilgua" Pause for three seconds - this is important "Isk hauil tentilgua" Another pause for three senconds "Henguil opviune" After you have chanted above rub the mixture over his affected chest area.
Facepunch is not a qualified Doctor, go and see your local doctor today.
[QUOTE=radioactive;19172826]Facepunch is not a qualified Doctor, go and see your local doctor today.[/QUOTE] I am. Read above post.
I'm a qualified Doctor. The Cereal box said "cut out and create your own doctor's certificate" and Cereal boxes never lie! :argh:
G'damnit go to the hospital even if you're American worry about costs later, if in the UK rejoice and still go to the hospital.

I'm really good with ribs, and I would suggest you to go to the Doctor. He probably moved his rib when he coughed, now they're pressuring on the lungs, it might go away.. but to be safe, you should go to the ER.
Take him to the doc. If he complains about money, tell him that it'll cost more if he gets an infection and/or funeral charges. It'll work.

Dude, take your dad to the fucking hospital. The internet can't magically cure his broken ribs.
