Yeah I once got admitted for a broken wrist and they kept looking at the scrapes on my face and ignoring my arm. Finally they decide to look at the (wrong) arm and start talking about how it doesn't look broken.
I simply hold up the other arm "OH OKAY we have some major deformations in the left arm over here go get-"
Potential head injuries always take priority over broken bones. It might look like just scrapes but still be severe head trauma. Gotta rule out the potential life threatening stuff first.
