Anyway, the reason they hurried Mercury off before he could be examined by anyone is because, if people found out that his legs are metal, they would've stopped being quite so pissed the fuck off that Yang "broke his leg". Sure, they likely would've still been mad at her for supposedly attacking someone who had 0% Aura, but they wouldn't have been quite so furious anymore, since he wasn't actually injured.

The entire point was to make everyone pissed off that Yang "injured" someone. The entire point was to generate as much negative emotion as possible. Not to mention the fact that Mercury playing it off like he was badly injured when he has metal legs would raise a few questions about what is up with him and his team.
