A fracture is the medical term for a broken bone. The break can be along the length of the bone or across the bone, so it looks as though the bone has snapped.

Slips, trips, and falls are consistently rank as one of the top 2 causes of injuries and deaths on the job. Our contributor, Zachary O’Dell from SafetyLine asks, “Have you taken these 6 precautions to avoid injuries in your own workplace?”
Slip, trip, and fall injuries are one of the most common causes of workplace injuries and death. The falls from slips and trips can lead to disabling injuries, traumatic brain injuries, surgeries, and countless hours in rehab. These types of injuries are painful and costly and can put stress on your relationships, lead to depression, anxiety, and in some cases post-traumatic stress disorder, or PSTD.
When someone is choking with a completely blocked airway, no oxygen can enter the lungs. The brain is extremely sensitive to a lack of oxygen and begins to die within four to six minutes. Irreversible brain death occurs in as little as 10 minutes.
