Tonight I got a phone call from a friend who dislocated her rib, doesn't know how, and wanted to know if I had any advice. On a real. I'm not makin this up.
Unlike eyes, ribs you need to push back in. And I'm not the one. You need a doctor or a chiropractor. All I can do is try to immobilize you, probably by taping pillows around you until you look like the Michelin Man.
Then what I will do is ask a lot of questions (which then you have to inhale to answer the questions, and that's gonna hurt, just so you know). My first question is gonna be, in the absence of a car accident or contact sports, how on this green earth did you dislocate a rib and not know about it at the time? I will get all up in your business about if you can breathe and if there's a dent and how it's dislocated and if it's anterior or posterior and so on. Then I give you a ride to the hospital (where they ask many of the same questions). That's all I do. You call, we haul.
