A TEENAGER walked around with a broken back for more than two days after medics "missed it" on her x-ray.
Iona Thomson, 18, was travelling to her first day of a new farm job when she was involved in a two-car crash in Angus on September 1.
The teen, from Friockheim, was rushed to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee but discharged just hours later with what medics described as a "squashed vertebrae".
Despite being in extreme pain, Iona was determined to attend a ladies' day hospitality event hosted by her beloved Arbroath Football Club the following day after being given tickets for her birthday.
But after attending a follow-up appointment at the hospital's fracture clinic on Monday, September 4, the 18-year old was horrified to discover she had a fracture in her lower back.
"The hospital took the same x-ray on the Monday as they did on the Friday.
"So I don't know how the consultant didn't see it the first time."
