 😁epic questions.

shoulder dislocations are typically reduced or put back with light sedation in the ED, and sometimes under full anesthetic

there are maneuvers that work depending on whether the shoulder came out to the front or back.

in the apocalypse Id have em lay down and attempt to elevate the arm while someone else holds counter traction.

do I have to say this isnt medical advice if we assume the applicable scenario is a zombie apocalypse? 
 Thank you.

There will be no lawyers during the zombie apocalypse, you're good.
