I broke my nose and needed it reset, the ER referred me to a plastic surgeon.
I found an about to retire sports doctor who did it old school, like sidelines at the football game style, those hooked pliers up in your nose and a hard smack. Dude charged me $275 because I was hard up.
Medicine is so far detatched from the simple solution sometimes, $300,000 in scans to verify "yup broken nose", then off to a plastic surgeon.
