This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP Curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in Natural Medicine.

Here are videos that may or may not be applicable to your friend's issue:




Minimum requirements:
  - Prove you have helped your friend with their fracture
  - Provide "guided" care where you visit and advise your friend as much as needed
  - Refer to them by a number or pseudonym that you will continue to use for that friend throughout the Natural Medicine badge

To document completion of the BB, provide the following:
  - Your friend's pseudonym
  - At least 2 visits to their home to discuss helpful behaviors, dietary changes, and supplements
  - At least 7 additional remote or in-person visits about their care to see how they’re progressing and correct course
  - Before, during, and after proof of the following:
      - Wound/incision healing from surgical repair (if any)
      - Significant reduction of swelling, bruising, etc. from the break/fracture itself
      - Increased range of motion, dexterity, strength gains, and/or normalization of gait/movement in the affected body part (perhaps a weekly video of the friend performing a set of physical therapy exercises, or progressing from crutches to walking boot to unassisted walking over time)
      - Other visible signs of improvement
      - Descriptions of subjective experiences such as pain and other relevant symptoms that cannot be documented visually

My cat has a fractured leg bone, would tending him count for this BB?

Thanks!
 
I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you - Fred Rogers. Tiny ad:
Switching from electric heat to a rocket mass heater reduces your carbon footprint as much as parking 7 cars
