So if I broke my ankle and went to the ER, doc says here you go I got your covered for 3 days and my PCM can't see me until 7-10 days later, what do I do?
Barring an existing medical condition, it would be very rare to need more than 3 days of painkillers for a broken ankle.
72 hours, eh? You don't know that, if there are nerves affected and or were damaged in the break or any other problem and what kind of break determines many things. Swelling and or other tissue damage.
