The doctor said "yeah but then you'll just have a big cyst and a broken wrist..." Too bad you can't see my guy (he re-attaches hands and other cool stuff) but I think the commute would be a little long...

My question then is why didn't the fracture get noticed on the first set of x-rays? But anyhow, he's nervous and already offered to pay for any treatment I need. At a minimum, I'll make sure I get that in writing. :) I am not permanently injured, and my strong dislike for malpractice suits is probably going to influence my decision...

This brings out the paralegal in me: Definately pursue the lawsuit. It would not at all be unreasonable. He owed you a certian duty of care, he breached it, and there was damage. This is exactly what they carry malpractice insurance for. Go get what your due, not because your vindictive, but because you are rightfully due just compensation for his malpractice. I wish I could refer you to the right lawyer, but I don't know anyone. Carefully choose your attorney, you don't have to hurry. Make sure they do lots of work in med-mal and aren't the type of lawyer that just takes anything. PLEASE be very diligent about collecting, saving, and organizing every document related to every doctor's visit and treatment. This is what they are going to base your compensation on.
