WORD PRESS. DAILY PROMPT
Have you ever broken a bone?
Yep, Broken ribs given to patient after CPR . And here is the Conversation of a jaded nurse whose patient complains of broken rib pain.

Im sorry sir , i know it hurts
It’s really not broken , its only a fracture
But , your heart needed a jolt
Or you would be in rapture
All will be healed in a little longer
As what doesn’t kill will grow back stronger.
A friend of mine spent several weeks groaning with a cracked rib after I saved him from choking with the Heimlich maneuver. I agree with the jaded nurse. Some things are more permanent than a cracked rib.
