17 yo Trayvon Martin Shot to Death by Neighborhood Watch Captain #16

Now I want to know after reading all these posts, what are you supposed to do if your nose is broken?

Be safe. Call your doctor and let him decide what to do. lol

 

[flourish]

I feel like going through all the threads, one by one, and collecting all the links and just post them all at once.

I do have a question? When we quote a person's post that has the link in it... do we also have to post the link in our post even though the link will show in the post we quoted?

Thanks.

I usually put something like "from above link" then put the link at the end of my post. That way when someone quotes me, they can still easily access the link. hth

That is so strange. Not arguing, but the two people I know who have broken their noses both had doctors who told them to come back in a couple days when the swelling went down. Tbh I don't know why. I just remember them saying that. I know one ended up having to have surgery the break was so bad.

You said a doctor told them to come back in a couple of days right? If yes, then what the doctor told them was correct based on his/her assessment of that patient. The original post to which I replied stated that doctors recommended waiting a couple of days before going in.

Any doctor that recommends waiting a couple days to be seen for a broken nose should have their license revoked.

Why would that be?

Mine was broken in a softball game...I was taken to the ER very, very quickly!

Were the contusions and lumps and maybe the redness not visible because she had hair? Perhaps if his/her head was shaved the injury would have been much more apparent.

But the "If you can't see it, you must not really be hurt is entirely moot if we are to now believe the new and enhanced video....since we can see "something" on the video, even if we don't know what it is or was, so it must have been visible that night.

Yes. I have a lot more hair than GZ. I don't know whether they would have been more visible if I had shorter hair. I just know that no one noticed them. The face was another thing entirely. Which is why I've asked if GZ had been seen in public after he was released. I would be interested to know if his face showed any signs of swelling or bruising the next day. I know my bruises seemed to last forever, a least several weeks and went through every color of the rainbow.

Could be.

The poster I was asking has had their head slammed repeatedly on a hard surface with little visible evidence of the injury very similar to what GZ claims happened to him . I was just interested if the poster was transported to the hospital after the incident or if they were treated on the scene of the incident.

My adopted daughter had her head slammed into a wall by her bmom, she had no initial exterior signs, was found unconscious had mutliple cerebral bleeds and infarcts (strokes) wound up in a coma for 17 days and had multiple brain surgeries after that. She is now 13 and wheelchair bound and has a feeding tube, seizures, etc. Traumatic brain injury can have very different effects, look at some of the soldiers, emotional issues, etc. I just can't swallow his head was "slammed" into anything, the grass but his immediate actions after and on the video he looked so relaxed, leaned back casually against the wall. The is just my impression and means absolutely nothing I suppose.

i am so glad i have never had a broken nose. They sound awful! I have had a sinus infection so bad that i wanted to yank out my entire sinus cavity with a crow bar? Is a broken nose worse than that?

yes!!!!

 

[LambChop]

Could be because they have to see you to make a diagnosis. jmo

Unless the nose is grossly disfigured, the doctor will tell his patient to wait a couple of days before coming in, or until the swelling goes down enough to take effective tests.

Additionally, Zimmerman was seen by an EMT who would have told him the same thing.

I have four brothers who played sports, just FYI.

to the best that I know of, no one has laid eyes on George Zimmerman since he was released from the PD that night, at least no one who has come forward to tell about it.

Children are much more susceptible to traumatic brain injuries that result in disability or death. While I am terribly sorry that happened to your daughter, respectfully, I don't feel that's quite the same.

I just had the craziest thought and since I have to get to work soon, I really wanted to share it with all of you.

Next time I'm at Cracker Barrel and my waitress asks me if I want "Links" I'm might seriously lose it? The word "links" will never, ever be the same for me. I don't think I'll ever be able to think about sausage when I hear that word? I might just hand the waitress my phone with a link to sausage? :floorlaugh:

I've had dreams about links. :floorlaugh:

 

[Beyond Belief]

Do we have an ideas who else besides the GF will be called by the GJ?

I think the point is anyone who is claiming their head was bashed against cement numerous times should have been taken to the ER...unless he didn't tell the EMT that. This was someone with SFD who had nothing to lose by taking him to the hospital for a doctor to check him out even if he couldn't see any damage. That is what bothers me. Ten minutes at the most to look at GZ and off he goes to the SPD. Sounds like GZ was just cleaned up and off he went. jmo

 

[suzihawk]

Absolutely not. I was told I'd be killed if I went to the authorities.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that and thanks for answering such a personal question.


As you said in another post, I'm sure they would have insisted on taking GZ to the ER just to be safe based on his statement of having his head repeatedly slammed on the pavement.

I agree, I think my point is ultimately, if the injuries claimed by Mr. Zimmerman were true, and EMT worth his grain in salt would have transported for a CT and or MRI. When he got up, he was walking around and very casual at the PD. As a former police dispatcher, that is routine. Thanks for your repsonse though.

I respectfully disagree in the strongest possible terms. That is one of the things that makes this entire "head hit on the concrete" so very impossible to believe. Even what many people consider a minor trauma, to an adult or to a child can result in some very serious complications and there does not have to show ANY visible damage to head or neck. The person can be just fine, and no one will know that they are bleeding into the brain, or between the dura mater and the brain until they suddenly have altered consciousness and at that point it is life threatening and they may in fact lose substatial areas of brain function forever...That is why even minor sports related bumps on the head, and traffic accidents get sent in for testing around here.'

I am not making any of this up, I promise, so here is a link

When an injury occurs, loss of brain function can occur even without visible damage to the head. Force applied to the head may cause the brain to be directly injured or shaken, bouncing against the inner wall of the skull. The trauma can potentially cause bleeding in the spaces surrounding the brain, bruise the brain tissue, or damage the nerve connections within the brain.http://www.emedicinehealth.com/head_injury/article_em.htm
