They don't have to knock you out to relieve pain. And, in cases of serious local trauma, I think they have to give people medication to keep them still enough to find out where's where. You just can't work on someone, or catscan them, who's flailing around. Sometimes the adrenaline shock, carries the person through. But I've been there when they couldn't touch me. And when my pain, was irrelevant, to the obvious.
We're not talking about mysterious ailments. Just injury. Your arm gets smashed, your heels in a fall ~ it's obvious what happened. There's nothing wrong with your breathing. What's to figure out that they figure out AFTER the X-rays?
They check your vitals, allergies, meds, et al and go.
