I work with a doc that is very skilled in getting the patient to relax while talking quietly to them and then will pretend that he is just examining the arm, move it around slowly and very gently then, ta dah, it slips right back almost painlessly. Relaxation is the key. That’s a new one to me, pretty cool.

Hopefully, though, he won't have to do it again. People can try that but it would be better if they'd be in the hospital while they're at it. Just so, you know, if anything goes wrong...

Instead of giving a man a fish to feed him for a day you gave him a fishing pole so he could feed himself for the rest of his life. Or at least until he knocks his hip out of the socket.
