How long would you be in the hospital if...? Pt. 2?

Question

How long would you be in the hospital if: you got stabbed in the arm, and got about 3 broken rubs. Here's a little about the situation:

- It was a man

- He is healthy, and fit

- The ribs were BROKEN and did not puncture anything

- The knife was clean (but not disinfected or anything)

- The knife didn't hit any major arteries, or anything

- He has PLENTY of money, and pretty good insurance

- He is an agent in a government agency

- The broken ribs were caused by being kicked

P.S. I need to know for a story I'm writing

Thanks in Advance!!! :P

Answer 7

I'm a Nurse in the neuro ICU...

As long as the knife did not cause any major infection I would estimate about 2 days. He would probably get a couple days of IV antibiotics and get sent home with a prescription of antibiotics and a topical to put on the cut and wound care instructions.  Cant do much about broken ribs. Follow up in 2 weeks :)

p.s. The amount of Money and type of insurace you have will not affect your hospital stay. IN fact, it might make his stay longer! :)
