  > I've had a broken bone that was visible in an xray and told to go home. Please tell us more. Which country would this be in? What bone was broken? The idea that a state engages in some grand conspiracy to spare the expense of a gypsum cast is ludicrous to me. Yes states engage in cost-benefit analysis of treatments but the contentious bits are not around broken bones. More along the lines if particular cancer treatments are worth it or not, or if the state can pay for super expensive advance treatments.

    There's no conspiracy. For privacy reasons I refuse to say the country apart than saying it was in Europe. As for the bone, similar. It was a small bone, common for the trauma I received and clearly visible in the xray. The private doctor immediately said fractured in a fraction of a second when I eventually was able to get the original xray. Later on I became quite knowledgeable in this specific fracture and it was obvious, though with no displacement. What I mean to say is the treatment you get is still highly dependent on your "status", how you look, or weather the doctors like you. And now I have a titanium screw in me inside a joint for life.
