Emergency, Emergency !!

Yesterday, early, I get a phone call from my dear wife... she has fallen at work and has a "HUGE" knot on her right shin. Her fellow co-workers are urging her to go to the Emergency Room. I ask a few basic questions.... Can you walk on it?....yes, Can you move your foot without massive pain?....yes, Can your wiggle your toes?....yes, Can you feel it when someone touches your foot?.... yes, (I've had a little experience with broken bones). Now I don't think it's broken, just badly bruised, but she insists... so of to the ER we go. Three hours, one x-ray and one tetenus shot (I was against the shot... thinking maybe lock jaw might not be a bad thing) later, we find...it's a bad bruise... your fine.... for this I missed breakfast. Am I wrong to play the victim here?
