There is a avulsion fracture of the right occiput at the origin of the alar ligament.This is at the limits of resolution of the study.There is possible subtle lucency with trabecular disorganization Extending through the lateral arch of C1 to the cortex without definite cortical displacement in relation to the into the vertebral artery foramen transversarium.

Left C7 transverse process fracture with extension to but no displacement of the foramen transversarium.Age-indeterminate anterior superior T1 vertebral body compression fracture, with loss of anterior vertebral body height of less than20%.

The Dr. told me he wasn't going to pin it because it didn't need it. Four weeks later he told me he couldn't pin it because the bones were so damaged. So I agree with you - you are not going to get full disclosure unless you read your own reports.
I hope you make a full recovery.

So glad to hear you are doing well now, scary stuff...
My wife nearly died last year due to an unusual lung infection. The pulmonologist misdiagnosed the cause. Just using internet searches and reviewing the lab tests, I was able to figure out the problem and treated for a full recovery, as one radiologist report had the key to the problem - but the doctor failed to pick it up as she had made up her mind too soon. I too, have lost a lot of faith in the medical system -
Be careful out there, folks, on the trail and off.
