My parent attended ED with a suspected fractured wrist. They had an x-ray and waited 4 hours to see a doctor. The doctor told my parent there was no fracture and was sent home with nothing - no analgesia or wrist support for the pain. No follow-up recommendations were made. We have since got the formal report from the x-ray which shows a fracture in the wrist. We have had no follow-up correspondence from the hospital to say there is a fracture or what to do about it. We still wouldn't know, unless we got the report from an external source.
