Patella Fracture

The doorbell rings... You drop what you are doing and start running to answer it.  As you cross your living room at a trot, you catch your knee on the corner of a coffee table...  The result of that impact is shown above.  I didn't bother and ask who was at the door, because if it was an insurance salesman, I'd probably have laughed.  I guess this knee would have been a pre-existing condition at that point, huh? 

Oh well... today was rather uneventful with this little exception...

Welcome...

As an X-ray tech, I get to see and hear some interesting things through the course of my day.  I have decided to create a little blog to share some of that information and hopefully get to meet some other interesting people who work in my field.  I work in several different types of medical environments, so I get to see a good variety of situations.  I'll be posting x-ray images here along with some commentary.  I'll be telling a few fun stories as I collect them.  They come quite frequently, especially from the emergency room!
