100% agree oneverything you said, but if he's paying out of pocket i'd advise against the ER. it's the most expensive of all options.
go to a free/cheap clinic or public hospital-- clinics can refer you to a hospital and hospitals have x-rays. just show up as a walk-in and wait for a cancellation to open up a spot. yes you stand in line for a long time but you get seen. yes, time is money but i don't think he makes enough that paying 10 times will be worth it.
that is unless he gets coverage right away (doubtful, but you never know). he should go see a health insurance navigator ASAP, regardless.
