“I didn’t know because I rarely get injured, but it was an ankle sprain, at a level that did not require a cast, bandage, or ultrasound confirmation. I had fallen and the swelling was not severe, so an X-ray alone would have been enough; it was at a level where I could have bought a patch or bandage at a pharmacy, but I couldn’t help feeling that ultrasound, bandaging, and a half-cast as non-covered items were over-treatment. I don’t think I will visit again.”
