That last part would be of the biggest impact to me. I've had two major bone breakages in my life - my arm when I was seven, my ankle when I was thirty-four. Even over that time period, the treatment seemed to improve a great deal, though neither ever fully healed, which is why my mobility is limited even now. Even putting aside things like infections, I can't imagine getting a broken bone treated without painkillers and hope I never have to. Resetting a dislocated shoulder without was bad enough.
Also though, when I broke my ankle I was alone in the snow. If cell phones weren't a thing, I'm not sure I would even have been able to get treatment and it's possible that exposure could have made things much much worse.
Fortunately, I had my cell phone and we weren't in prehistory, so things went significantly better than they could have. Now I just have to worry about the future.
