The pain in my middle finger got worse and worse so I went back this morning and made them actually look at it and turns out it has been broken since Thursday.

That sucks - Fucking NHS are idiots sometimes!
Its the same everywhere though - When I was in NZ and I smashed my leg up the 911 girl asked me 3 times if I was sure is was broken (I lived in the middle of nowhere) -
Me - "Well I am laying on the bed and when I lift my leg up my foot stays where it is"
Operator - "but how do you know it is broken?"
Me - "Lift your leg up and see what happens to the foot thats attached to it"
Operator - "And it wasn't like this before you fell over?"
Me - "Yes, I am pretty sure that the foot was attached to the leg before the accident...."
Operator - "OK I will send an ambulance - are you in any pain at the moment?"
At this point my language becomes even too much for GFY.....
