I can't speak to "here".....but two different times I fell and broke an ankle (years apart) before moving here. Went to the ER and they splinted it and sent me home. The 1st time I went back a few days later and a cast was put on (this was the 1st ankle). Years later I slipped and fell and broke the other one....this time the ER splinted it and told me to call a specialist (ortho) which I did. They had to do surgery on it so back to the hospital for that. Anyway, they most likely won't cast any breaks as you have swelling so they want that to go down a bit before putting a cast on it. So don't scream at the people in the ER......
