HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR DOCTOR: FORGETFULNESS AND FRACTURES
Forgetfulness
If you remember that you forget, there is little wrong with your memory. Older people often worry about forgetfulness because it implies the risk of dementia or Alzheimer's Disease. The most common cause of forgetfulness is anxiety. Nothing promotes absent mindedness more than anxiety and nothing improves memory better than its use.
Try repeating the following address: The R.S.L. War Veterans Hostel, 2603 Moggil Road, Pinjarra Hills. If you can repeat this address immediately and in five minutes time, there is nothing wrong with your memory. If you fail - seek medical attention immediately - if you can remember.
Fractures
Fractures can be simple, compound, green stick or comminuted. There is little to do in the immediate event of a fracture other than fix the affected limb, above and below the fracture site with a splint, administer a pain killer such as Panadene and proceed to the doctor's surgery. The healing time of fractures varies. Four to eight weeks are needed for the body to provide a bony splint (callous) around the fracture site and another four to eight weeks are needed for the fracture to cement together without leaving a trace.
