I had a accident that broke eight ribs with the top three ribs broken in multiple places. My first night in the ICU a nurse used a sling to move me from the gurney to the bed. I objected because it looked dangerous, but he insisted because he said there was a lack of man power. As soon as he lifted I started screaming for him to put me down. He continued lifting me and I passed out from the pain. I came to and the straps were off of me and I felt OK. I have no idea how long I was out. The nurse that did the lifting ran off as soon as I woke up. I am concerned about possible damage from the compression on my upper body and organs. I experienced a burning pain for weeks afterward. It was in the middle of my chest and happened when my bladder was full. Once I emptied my bladder the pain lessened and would go away. I am still experiencing discomfort in my middle chest. I have a appointment and I will bring this up with my dr in two weeks. What should I do and what type of damage might of been done to me.
