He thinks he busted a blood vessel in his hand. What do we need to do? Like, is it harmful? Do I need to give him any sort of medical attention? My mom is a nurse but she is out of town. I have all sorts of supplies, though.
WTF? he punched a cement column...why did he do that. well if he busted a blood vessel it should look like a small red dot on his hand. Its not too serious. Try putting some ice on it and washing it with a cool wash cloth. However, it it continues to grow in size call the doctor. honestly tell your friend he is an idiot
Hell yes, he could have bruided his hand. He could have broken his hand! If you are not trained in First Aid, don't bother, you could do more harm that good trying to treat him (and in most US States, persons not trained in First Aid that render same are liable for damages they do). If he thinks he needs medical treatment (and he very well may, depending on how HARD he hit the column. Now, could he have ruptured a major blood vessel? Unlikely, but if he is concerned, he should go either to a local clinic, or the local Hospital. Drawback is, if the two of you are minors, he'll require his parent's signature/approval for the treatment...and it likely won't be too inexpensive. Good Luck!
