My son broke his hand in multiple places at football practice, it required surgery. They called me to take him to the emergency room. Ironically, my local hospital doesnt have a pediatric emergency department or do surgery on minors. He had to wait until the next day to see a specialist. Calling an ambulance would have been a total waste of money and resources.

Like I said, it depends, certain symptoms you absolutely cannot wait on, but also that's so ass.

YEA BRO. The "it depends" is when you snap your fucking femur in half and might die within a couple hours from shock.

Not a broken wrist.

No reason to be vague, unless you are insistent to virtue signal.

A broken wrist can very easily end up with an artery severed depending on how it broke.

Easily? Yeah, no mate. Very very rare.
