> I think these are things that have to be considered for medical protocols

What makes you think those things haven't been considered?

The comment you replied to said, "the new guidance is..." I took that to mean those things have been considered.

I mean considered per patient. Pro wrestler Kerry von Erich had to get his broken foot amputated because he thought it felt good enough to walk across the room to get a cheeseburger. Not everyone can gauge these things on their own, especially considering people with broken bones may be taking pain killers. Not everyone can have professionals, or even loved ones, around them to monitor it.
