wow, this happened to me when I was 21 in 1985. I was playing sandlot football and after the tackle I walked to the hospital. The staff where amazed that I had walked to the hospital and said that I was lucky.

i am sorry but what a load of shite. how could she have not known that she had done herself so much damage. obviously i feel sorry for her and as for the stairs thing i dont bother with the handrails but she must have been in more pain than she was letting on surely and when the pain got worse her delay in going to her doctor could quite easily have made her situation a thousand times worse she was lucky i reckon because she could have been parolised
