I went to the satellite ER on state Route 44 for a broken wrist on a Saturday. Treatment was fine and yes, they did recommend I see a specialist. However, my orthopedic surgeon told me that had he seen me that very day he would have done surgery that night. My mistake was that I waited, because I really didn’t know any better, saw him on Monday and had surgery on Tuesday. I probably will lose some of my flexion because of that wait.
