You have no way of knowing whether they were set correctly, and you certainly cannot determine whether they need to be rebroken, or why.
I'm not sure why it's out of line - if you take it that way, I apologize. I was simply stating what I percieve to be a fact. When a bone is broken and a doctor sets it properly, it usually heals properly. If it isn't set properly, then generally it needs to be rebroken & reset - I didn't claim that it needed to be rebroken or reset - you said that it did in your original post (which is now deleted). I'm not sure why you take so much offense to that. If there's another explanation, feel free to provide it. Again, though, I apologize if I've offended you.

Your post
(some of which is quoted here) says you feel you deserve some indication that the hotel was aware of your injury. You did mention a call or a letter or something (such as a "free weekend" - your words, not mine). I did base my first response on that fact - as you said that was the purpose of your post (starting out with the "My question is more emotional - I feel that I deserve(d)..." As for me stating that you ate your meal (which is why I thought it was strange you'd expect them to comp it), in the post #16, your exact words were "they charged me for
the meal I was eating when I fell!" - the italicized words, to me, and most reasonable people, implies that you were actually physically eating a meal (and maybe got up to use the restroom or something midmeal when you fell - I don't know). I did not mean for my summary to be sarcastic - I just provided a summary of what I recalled - I couldn't give exact wording, just the key points that stuck out in my mind.
I'm sorry you got injured - broken bones suck - I've been there & had a few in my time. But my first post in this thread was specifically answering the "emotional question" you asked. After you deleted your first post, I summarized to the best of my ability. Only later did you provide more & conflicting information. Different people have different perspectives on things.
I'm going to follow aaupgrade & Fripp's advice & let this go now...
