Question

Does this work when you have an actual broken bone?

Community Answer

Never attempt to plaster a broken bone if you are not a physician because bones must be reset properly by a doctor before being casted.

Question

How do I make a plaster? My finger is bleeding and it hurts and I don't have any plasters.

Community Answer

Put some cold water or ice on it and that will help slow the blood and stop it from bleeding. After that go to ER right away.
