“Dr. Slim.  Paging Dr. Slim!”

 

You are Dr. Slim, and you are about to have your first day of work in the Charbonneau Hospital Emergency Room.  Your mission is to learn some information about joints and casts so that you can help a patient with a broken joint.  Good Luck!

 

                                                                                                                 

 

 

 

Let’s start by checking out some cool websites:

Joints

                                         

Broken Bones                                                  

 

Casts

                                                                                                                                                                 

                                                     

 

 

Did you like those websites? 

 There was a lot to learn about

joints and casts.  Now do some

research on how joints move.  It’s

a very important part of joints!

Ok, we’re almost done!  Take out a piece of paper and answer these questions!

            What bone did Joe Schmo break?

 

            Will he have to wear a cast?  Why?
