Answers:
hospitals cant treat broken ribs they just have to repair themselves in time
as long as he follows the hospitals advice he will be fineWww@Answer-Health@Com

yes it is fine!. My boyfriend did the same during a hockey game!. He was in the hospital for about 2- to maybe 3 days!.!.!. He was then already back playing hockey but is trying to be very careful with his ribs!.!.!. (it was minor as well!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com

He is correct in as much as ribs mend themselves, however he needs to take it easy as it is possible to puncture your lung/s with a broken rib/s!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the danger with broken ribs is to the lung, tell him to check this out as my grandfather punctured his after a fall!. very sad ending!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yeah a lot of people break ribs and never even know it, unless they were totally crushed or something (and they wouldnt let him out if they were) he'll be fineWww@Answer-Health@Com

Your friend is correct!.
The ribs repair themselves and pain killers need only be used if needed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

not a good thing to do the rib can stab your lung or other Vidal areasWww@Answer-Health@Com
