Would you want your bone set perfectly after a break?

That's the question I got asked at A&E when I broke my arm by the ortho consultant- both bones broken and displaced and pulled back into place - or are you happy to make do? So now I wait for 9 days before getting it checked to see if I need a pin - to make it perfect.
Ortho-consultant discharged me with no pain relief and no advice on how to manage my plaster, the swelling etc - just wiggle your fingers.
I can't help but question the treatment I've had. I'm not 100% sure he could care less either way. Am I expecting too much from the NHS?

FGS They should not be asking you to make an important decision without all the facts and without being fully able to make the decision.
I had a trapped nerve and was in agony in A and E. They tried to push me out when I was literally unable to stand without the most agonizing pain I have ever experienced. I collapsed back onto the bed and told the Dr in no uncertain terms that I was going nowhere without pain relief. It is unbelievable what we have come to.
