Or they run every test under the sun and then ignore, misread, or plain refuse to treat the results.

The blood work shows that your blood sugar is borderline diabetic, your kidneys are failing and the xray shows a fracture... your fine, go home.

Cause well, fuck your diabetes, we won't give dialysis until your number of 16 gets to 14 even though the normal is 60 and all the rest of what's off relates to your kidneys, and we can't do anything for that fracture in your sternum anyways, nevermind, that we didn't see it until you came back complaining of chest pain...

There really isn't a treatment for a fractured sternum. You can't exactly put it in a splint and surgery would hurt even worse.

Yeah...

point is they didn't even catch it the first time...
