Mea Maxima Culpa

Continuing the missed X-Ray series.


I thought the second radiograph was o.k; so I fell back on the age old staple of serial observation. The patient settled, so no CT. 3 weeks later she called to say the pain had not settled, and returned for a review...


I apologise for the limited quality of the images thusfar; but I think the abnormalities are visible on this one; sadly my colleague, who reviewed the patient, didn't...

Mea Culpa (2)

No dissection; and indeed I have the luxury of digital X-rays. An advantage that I did not use to it's fullest; indeed it seems slightly unfair to ask you all to comment, given the poor quality of the images... but it's only light hearted.





I was worried about the bases, and not entirely happy with the supine film, so repeated it, with patient sat up.





Here it is:
(I have tried to make the image bigger, but to little avail...)

The Missed X-Rays of Uncle Shroom

Part of the 'mea culpa' series. Hopefully, a very occasional series. In several parts.


Young woman, blunt force trauma to head and right chest. Primary survey unremarkable. Supine chest as follows. (Reported as normal by Radiology... and myself of course)
