Nowadays, I don't go to the doctor for a broken bone unless its a compound fracture and the limb isn't straight. Good luck.
I think those two statements right there should be enough to veer anyone away from anything in the middle of your quote.
Regardless that taking ibuprophen and ice IS a good idea, the rest of your comment is ludacris.
Neglecting yourself from visiting a doctor when injured is not intelligent.

Say what you might about wether ME going to the doctor with a broken finger, or ribs, or whatever is not intelligent. My advice to the dude was sound and correct. Even you said so.
If they veer away from the middle of my quote because of those two statements, there closed-minded and don't diserve my sound advice.
p.s. It's not that hard to set a splint and immobilize a joint, or even, straighten out a busted finger and set it.

That's a bit of good news, nothing is broken.
Hope you're feeling better soon!

Sure... But this situation is dealing with the wrist, which is a bit more complicated than a busted finger...

More complicated than a broken finger, yes. A difficult joint to immobilize, not at all.
