Describe your experience.

I fell off my scooter and hurt my shoulder pretty bad. I went to the ER and they told me I should be ok with some time. When I went to Rothman they told me right away that my shoulder was broken. It was such a relief to know I was being taken care of properly. I was put in a sling and had to remain stable for some time. After that I completed physical therapy. When that sling came off, it was an emotional time for me, I was so relieved. o I fell off my scooter and hurt my shoulder pretty bad. I went to the ER and they told me I should be ok with some time.
