I guess in all fairness to the radiologist, he wouldn't have expected her neck to be broken where it was, which is why he prob missed it.
Her C2 vertebrae was cracked horizontally. C2 is what breaks (generally) when someone hangs themselves, or it can be broken in a severe whiplash type scenario...which was what happened in her case in the accident. Well, you don't survive a C2 break. At least that's what her physical therapist told her.
When she went to her initial visit with him, he told her to come in and sit down. That they needed to have a chat because he didn't really know how he was going proceed with treating her because people don't survive with the break that she had.
You know, I'm sorry...I said it broke horizontally...it fractured vertically....horizontally is when there is instant death because your spinal cord is injured if that happens, and that is where your breathing is controlled. Sorry. I had that backwards.
