"Lack of an x -ray left my wife with a fractured..."

About: West Cumberland Hospital

The staff did not want to x-ray my wifes lower back.Stating that she did not have a fractured pelvis because there was no blood in her urine.After an accident in turkey. They picked up a fractured spine of the fourth vertebrae.This proved to be an old injury.After the injury we paid out money to have physio . I think we are very lucky that she is not in a wheel chair.
