Paramedicfag anon here
In my 10 years of helping people including many falls.
Never has anyone ever complained of or hurt their ribs in a fall.
Typical fall injuries in my experience are: hip, femur, wrist/arm (from trying to brace fall), head.
Unless something was sticking out countertop….bench…..chair.
It is not likely the ground would cause this!
Seriously! A movie!
You should see some of these "doctors" I hand patients off to in the ER
You just admitted she had another injury! Shoulder!
It is possible yes.
I would think there would have been another injured extremity also
Didn't say it wasn't possible anon.
I am trying to think of a time that I responded to a call with broken ribs from a fall and cannot recall ever doing it. That is all I am saying. Typically there should be another injury associated with it. This has nothing to do with my "skills". Hasn't happened that's all
