A necklace has nothing to do with the treatment of a wrist injury. It won't be in the way regardless of if it's a laceration or break/sprain. Judging by the photo, it's a sprain.

An inverted cross is not sharp. As for not working on anybody with removable jewellery? Why? So before you go into the ER, you must remove all jewellery? What about the old ladies that come in? Does this count for medicalert bracelets? It's not a problem for EMS, it shouldn't be a problem for hospital staff.
This was the admitting clerk. They sit behind a desk and hand you paper work, ask you some basic questions.
