Default can a patient treat themselves?

where : Dallas, tx USA.

I received treatment for my dislocated finger. This involved using (1) a laser powered device and (2) infra red device to help loosen the tissue around the dislocation etc. The doctor had staff issues and a fairly busy practice.

On at least 5 separate occasions that I recall I was handed the equipment and asked to continue the treatment myself. The assistant went off to see other people. I was left unsupervised.

I doubt if I suffered any harm and I'm not looking for that (unless advised otherwise). However, is there a case to report this to any medical institution?

Thank you.
