From this to that; The very serious eastern European anesthesiologist wrapped up her pre-surgery talk with this gem, in her Count Dracula accent; "The healing of all serious trauma will include pain." Oh that was so fking awesome!

You bet! I have matching broken collarbones, and I would much rather that than soft tissue damage.
I think I have shared this before, but it makes the case that our clavicles have evolved to be something that breaks rather than doing damage to other structures. When it breaks, it has done it's job.
