I hope you recover fast.

I was wondering, shouldn't you go to an emergency care for an accident like this one?

Urgent care would be more appropriate, I think, but yes, it doesn't seem like a PCP is necessarily required.

(But now might be a decent time to think about it anyways?)

Most of the urgent care I've used don't have the equipment to handle this. I've been twice in the last 6 months to 2 seperate urgent cares. In both cases I had to go to the ER anyway for X-rays. The doctor in one urgent care gave me a referal since she has surgical rights (I think?). I was sent straight to the X-ray tech rather than waiting it out in triage.
