[Wonder Why]

16. You are so right! After my being hit by a car last week and the hospital saying "no fractures", I was still

in enough pain to visit my orthopedic surgeon. He saw nothing on the hospital Xrays or CATscans or the Xray he did because one of theirs missed a portion of my leg but thought my pain was enough to ask for MRIs. The Hospital radiology department scheduled them at the earliest available time - April 13.

I decided that was unacceptable so I asked a doctor friend who said it was ridiculous. She said to ask the surgeon to request a STAT MRI. He did. One (thigh) was scheduled for last Thursday and one (knee) for March 11 but the technicians, after doing the first, said if I wished, they would stick around and do the second.

I'm glad they did. The second one showed 2 fractures, knee and tibia.
