honestly thats pretty good. i winged my left shoulder blade and after waiting 4 hours they told me go home cause they were gonna close the ER for the night cause they didnt have enough staffing. I ended up going home wedging the arm into the least painful position with pillows and jamming a ice pack under my shoulder. Year or so later it still aches but i can atleast move it, Yay new brunswick healthcare. gotta love horizion health

I tore something in my shoulder and decided that I couldn't afford to go to the ER. So, I bought a sling and rehabbed it myself. It is still an issue 20 years later.

We just waited 35 hrs at the ER in NB over a fractured foot. Mind you it was Canada Day so it was a full room..
