How do you treat a broken finger and how to tell if it is broken?
Technically, you should feel the pain. But if it is not yourself, and that person isn't sensitive and don't feel the pain but the finger itself seems broken, you should go to the doctor. But if the doctor is not around or unavailable, you should be able to tell a broken finger by pressing it, trying to bend it, cracking it, and twisting it. The emergency treatment is to gently wash it with cold water frequently, or if available, put a thick unbentable paper and press it against the finger while having someone put a huge bandaid on it.
