It was the office. Policy at 2 different ortho offices. Craziness.
Want to hear an even more crazy? The ER that treated him after hitting a wall at 70mph and being thrown 70 feet only did x-rays of left hip, left knee & right knee. "Contusions from blunt force trauma". I know we lived in podunk TN, however we were close enough that any major trauma was sent to Nashville. One would think the snowmobile capital state and close enough to a high tourist area in the greater Milwaukee area would have at least a level 4 trauma center that would be able to thoroughly evaluate such an injury. The one he was sent to is a level 3 trauma center and should have known & done better. SMDH
