Take a memo!"<br /><br />I was a bit disappointed when I grew up and didn't really have bosses like that.

If the patient's right arm is broken, and the shadow points to the right, this is a "positive Throckmorton sign." Sadly, no equivalent sign exists for female patients.<br /><br />The Throckmorton sign may actually be positive in a statistically significant percentage of cases, as people are more prone to injury on their dominant side, and the male genitals tend to "hang" toward that side.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06160738569538127620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-6077497336815564352010-10-15T00:22:00.568-05:002010-10-15T00:22:00.568-05:00Well, Pete got that right tho.
