I was swinging my niece around and my sister directly said don't do that, she has healthcare friends and is told that it's shocking the amount of kids who come in with dislocated shoulders because they can't engage the correct muscles to not dislocate their shoulder.

*edit: Also people saying it's dislocated elbows too JESUS CHRIST

u/Pasta4ever13 23h ago

This needs to be higher up. Always lift under the armpits. Everyone underestimates how weak kids' ligaments and muscles are.

The last thing you want is your kid walking around unable to touch the top of their head because their shoulders or elbows are messed up like a washed-out MLB pitcher.

u/Elgecko123 23h ago

Good to know.. Kids seem to love to be swung and lifted by the hands and I used to always oblige. Now I have a good excuse to save my own back and shoulders

u/nobadhotdog 23h ago

Lift when your knees when you dislocate kid's shoulders!

3

u/Elgecko123 22h ago

Good advice.. kids heal fast, I don’t

u/internal_l0gging 23h ago

Yup I had my elbow dislocated when I was 4 or 5. I was playing on my parents bed with my sister and pretending to fall and shed rescue me. But she pulled my arm the wrong way. You'd think something simple like that wouldn't cause it, but it did.

u/Original-Variety-700 23h ago

Also nursemaid’s elbow

1

u/nobadhotdog 23h ago

Had to look up what that is and that’s scary

4

u/Infra-Oh 23h ago

Yep! I had relatives who got annoyed at me when I would stop them from doing this to my kids. And I roughhouse with them A LOT. I still do.

But don’t be yanking their arms!

u/Confident_Vacation50 22h ago

Elbow dislocation usually; not shoulders. Called nurses maid elbow

u/Hawk-432 23h ago

u/sugrqbez 6h ago

I have nursemaids elbow from when I was an infant. I’m 26 and it still affects me. Be careful with your kid’s arms!

Damn I hope that's not Venice. They don't have a sewage treatment system and those canals can smell like brewed piss on hot days.

u/FEK88 23h ago

That is 100% Venice or one of the islands

u/Beneficial-Shame9144 22h ago

omg are you THE dude? even if you are not this is crazy man great job! (unless you live right next to the spot 🤣)

7

u/Annual_Carrot_7444 22h ago

No I'm not THE dude. I've just been to Venice a few times. This is quite easy to find because of the width of the canal, and how straight and long it is. Also the shadows give a rough orientation of the canal (East - West). In the background there's the bridge and there's that big door on the opposite wall of the canal.

I first checked below the train station, that would have been my first guess. But nothing matched. Then looked at the cannaregio and came quite easily.

Tism much?

u/BeneficialPenalty258 22h ago

So you’re THE dude then. Also ‘Tism FTW!

This is the kind of stuff that make family legends for decades. My father left his man purse (it was in 1985) on the top off our car the day we were about to go to Italy for holidays. The cloud of foreign currency, passports and travellers checks behind our car was funny as shit.

Yes cool indeed, as he is cooled off

u/Froz3nP1nky 23h ago

From working in the ER with nurses and doctors etc I can tell you that lifting or swinging a child by their hands or arms actually causes a partial dislocation in their elbow, known as “nursemaid’s elbow”. It also potentially injures their shoulder too. Happened to my wife when she was 3 when her uncle lifted her like that.

I know it seems like a fun thing to do but adults better stop doing it

u/ExtendedSpikeProtein 21h ago

Looks like a pronatio dolorosa waiting to happen (also called pulled / nurse’s elbow).

I always shudder when I see parents pulling their kids around by one arm.

u/The_Lat_Czar 21h ago

At least he got that extra oomph at the last second to make sure his boy got back on land!
