[Paddlewise] Dislocated Shoulder

Sounds long and painful. The method I was taught in Wilderness First Aid was 
to keep the arm at 90 degrees(they will probably be holding it this way 
against their body).  Then rotate the arm away from the body to the side, as you do 
this move the arm up like they are going to "make a muscle". All the while you 
need to exert force pulling on the arm.
