Is it broken or nah?

SPOILER ALERT

Rammed my pinky toe into the metal leg of the bed frame while trying to make the bed. Was 💯 percent sure it was broken and went to urgent care to get them to look at it, Nurse practitioner comes in and goes that certainly looks broken let’s get an X-ray to make sure. Get those done and she comes back in and says well it’s not broken just super-inflamed. I’m prescribing you some extra strength ibuprofen for the pain. The next day I get a phone call from the radiologist office telling me I could go ahead and schedule an appointment with the orthopedic office because from the X-ray they looked at that it was indeed fractured. I said I’m sorry what now?? Needless to say, I was mildly infuriated because there were multiple people at that doctor’s office who looked at that X-ray and they all came to the conclusion that it wasn’t broken. However the radiologist looked at it and was like oh it’s definitely fractured. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️
