@sentientdessert @p3R1n01D and she would!
@sentientdessert @p3R1n01D good question. Contortionists would be scary af
@p3R1n01D @sentientdessert how did they handle it?
@p3R1n01D @sentientdessert that had to be a bit surreal and unnatural looking. Is that considered compartment syndrome if the blood flow gets restricted like that?
@Jezibaba @sentientdessert
Pretty well, and it led to some great discussion on the hard decisions rescuers are faced with. I think I did it in more than one class.
In this one, I was supposed to be a climber who had fallen. Ordinarily, in town, they'd try to splint/spineboard me as I was and move it at the ER. Moving the arm could cause further damage and bleeding.
But in the mountains, they'd have to carry me out, and the position might have restricted blood flow to the arm.
