A coworker slipped and popped her knee. I gave her a hotpack and it she said it felt much better.
But when she was brough to the hospital, the people there (I assume the doctors) gave her a weird look (hot pack on the popped knee), and gave her ice instead.
My logic was that if they could pop it back in, then it would be easier with heat because the muscles are relaxed, as ice would tense up the muscles.
Am I wrong for putting a heat pack? Why was she given ice instead? Thanks!
