your surgeon or doctor is what I think you mean, was a dick because its no big deal. I have bruised ribs before and dont get me wrong it f*cking hurts. take a couple weeks to get back to normal, but fractured or broken rib will be black and blue and huge. Very painful to even breath. Ice it, wrap it if you like as well right around your chest. Get some good rest, and you'll be busting out time machines again before you know it.
