My friend broke his arm in one of our trips and this is how rest of us helped :D We were in a remote area where there was no doctor facility. He was having immense amount of pain which came down after this setup. Next day we visited nearest city and Doctor was really impressed with our friends creativity :) Edit: Many of them asked where this happened. It happened at Gandikota also known as 'Grand canyon of India' which is very remote from the city. We always carry basic First aid kit with us. Finally it helped .
The aim of first aid was to make sure there is no hand movement. When we are back to Bangalore we directly took our friend to hospital. Doctor appreciated the effort made by us, even he took a snap of it. May be he will share this in his Medical Council.
