Unfortunately there isn't much you can do for broken ribs!. Ribs do have the power to heal on it's own, but hurts like crazy and makes it difficult to breathe!. Wearing a cast isn't possible because you risk getting pneumonia!. Sorry your dad is in pain!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

get the phone book out and look for medical clinics in your area, there usually are some low-cost or free ones!. Its a good idea to get him checked out
