Broken wrist cast issue

Hi everyone, earlier today I fell off on my wrist and it went out of place. I don’t have a picture with it, but it was very obvious that this wrist was not similar with the healthy one. I went to the emergency room. They said it was broken and they put a cast on it (only on the upper part of my forearm).

But the thing is the doctor did not try to put my wrist back in place in order to kinda make it look like the good one. they have just put the cast on it without any additional things and told me to come again in six days in order to “finish my cast”. Are they going to put the wrist into place then and also change my cast into one that covers both superior and posterior part of my forearm?

My wrist now looks like this and I’m quite concerned about it. I’m thinking about going to the emergency room again in order to check if everything it’s all right.
What do you guys think?
