I've referred to Langford, not as an emergency but hopefully to be seen next week, to see if anything can be done and probable advanced imaging. In my opinion probably can't do a lot. Other radiographs show a degree of scoliosis and interestingly cacification of the intervetebral disks in the neck

I've just spoken to her again, talking about me sending radiographs to Europe (the client is Polish)
