“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

⟡ Clear Scans, Clouded Judgment: The Radiological Elegance of Doing Nothing ⟡


⟡ Steroids, Scans & Shrugs: A Diagnostic Chronicle of Institutional Disinterest ⟡

I. When the Scan Is Clear but the System Is Clouded

This archive entry contains radiological reports from St Mary’s Hospital (Imperial NHS Trust), covering:

  • Ongoing obstructive lung disease (asthma with hyperinflation)

  • Steroid-induced osteopenia (documented but untreated)

  • Mobility-impairing knee symptoms dismissed as radiographically trivial

No intervention.
No follow-up.
No comprehension of cumulative clinical degradation.

A tidy stack of imaging. A towering heap of nothing done.

II. Highlights from the Elegant Nothingness

  • Chest X-rays (2024–2025): Hyperinflated lungs, no pneumonia, no plan.
    "Asthma AE" reduced to no consolidation noted. The bar for care? Collapse.

  • DEXA Scan (Oct 2023): T-scores -1.6. “Below average for age.”
    Translation: early-stage bone deterioration. NHS translation: Ignore.

  • Knee X-ray (June 2023): No fracture.
    Ergo: No further inquiry. Pain, weight-bearing difficulty, and mobility impact? Not radiologically photogenic enough.

III. Why SWANK Filed This

Because the accumulation of unremarkable reports in a deteriorating body is not reassurance. It’s gaslight-by-printout.

This document captures the exquisite choreography of bureaucratic healthcare:

  • Scan → minimise

  • Symptom → compartmentalise

  • Systemic risk → defer

This is not medicine. It’s aesthetic restraint performed as policy.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not believe clinical neglect is excused by normal scans.
We do not accept “no fracture” as clearance to ignore collapsing joints.
We do not accept lung disease that must present as melodrama to be acknowledged.

Let the archive show:

  • The asthma is real

  • The bone loss is real

  • The indifference — was immaculate

This was not “no findings.”
It was no duty of care.
