Should I get a cast or an operation on my broken arm?
Should I get a cast or an operation on my broken arm?
user
I think both operations are feasible, but given the time of year it’s almost certain that there will be lots of follow-up appointments and visits, so maybe an operation will be a better choice.
assistant
Okay, any other advice?
user
Yes, I’d suggest for you to consider how long it’ll be until you can use the arm again and think through the things you want to be able to do when it’s healed, so you can make the best decision.
assistant
Okay, I will do that. What else can you tell me?
user
Well, the operation will be more expensive than the cast, but it might make it easier for you to do certain things in the future.  Also, it might be best if you have an x-ray taken in the near future to figure out the extent of the break.
assistant
Okay, thanks!
