Yeah.. break something now, and it's pretty much surgery. Or at least that's what the ortho told me. Unless it's very very basic. Cast only gets you immobile until they can operate. He said standard of care is different now that it used to be.

Of course it is.

ER Visit, xray, diagnosis, casting, discharge, referral to ortho, repeat x ray, schedule surgery, labs for surgery, consult, surgery center, anesthesia, device rep...followup with addtl xray, therapy, then discharge.

Everyone gets a slice, and everyone wants to know why it healthcare is expensive
