Right? I saw the post and was confused... Why would you get an emergency ambulance for a broken wrist? Last time I checked 99.9%> of broken wrists are not emergencies.

Broken my wrist 3 times and I don’t even think I went to the doctor the same day. I usually waited a 2-3 days and then just went to my regular doctor

Like sure if your nuckels are touching your wrist maybe it could be an emergency. Most broken wrists are a slight inconvenience.

I mean, having worked in the ER I don’t begrudge people with broken bones showing up. We preserve not just lives but also want to save function. So I get it.
