I think that it's a sad thing, but it's fairly normal for even very good trauma hospitals to overlook things, or rather I mean the employees of such hospitals. After I was run over by the car, I went back to work in the same trauma hospital where I was cared for & was helping move some furniture when my best friend told me to stop before I hurt myself. I laughed & said, "I broke my knee, not my back!!" She said, "Ummmm, actually you did fracture your neck." So I ordered up my old chart & sure enough, there was the picture the Ortho doc had drawn of the fracture of the transverse process at c-5. And over a year later, another Dr explained that I couldn't possibly have fractured my pelvis in the front without fracturing my sacrum in the back.
So thank God for patients who question & get involved in their own care. It's the only way.
