Why don't you move on to another thread and we will continue discussing this for as long as we want to??

Lol!True!She uses it for attention.

of course she needs her cast, they don't put them on for fun.

Ok, well I actually am an emergency department doctor, as it happens and no, I think it's very unlikely that she truly needs a cast the size of that (or the fancy poly sling either, come to that) - however, I wouldn't blame her for it, it's nothing to do with her. I would imagine that the ED doctors and nurses that treated her wanted to make sure they did a gold plated job given that she was on tv. Don't blame them, I'd probably have done the same myself. But from the little bit she said (and observation) I'll hazard a guess that she sustained a scaphoid fracture (small bone in the hand, under the thumb). In our hospital, you'd be lucky to get a plaster cast for that at all, let alone a sling. A Velcro splint and a fracture clinic follow up would be your lot. Even if it was a fractured radius (wrist) it still wouldn't need a plaster cast practically up to the elbow. An over-enthusiastic plaster nurse, I think.

I would do that too if mine was sticking out like that.




However I think it's more a case of her reminding everyone she's hurting, it's what my grandma did when she fractured her wrist.

Jackie is annoying enough at the moment plenty of other things to actually pick on.

Good point,if the medical staff deemed it necessary to be on like that it is hardly her fault.
