“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

Breathe, Bruise, Deny: A Diagnostic Ballet of Dismissal



⟡ Osteopenia, Obstruction & Orthopaedic Dismissal: The Diagnostic Series They’d Prefer to Misfile ⟡

I. When the Body Instructs, and the System Refuses to Learn

This dossier is not a complaint. It is a radiographic biography — a procession of neglected diagnostics trailing behind policy contempt.

Across knees, lungs, bone and breath, it chronicles:

  • Chronic asthma under steroid regimes

  • Emerging osteopenia misclassified as “normal for age”

  • Left knee collapse dismissed with bureaucratic minimalism

  • Two chest x-rays showing obstructive lung disease in full inflation — but zero pulmonary intervention

They saw inflammation.
They reported “no consolidation.”
They missed everything in between.


II. What the Reports Reveal (and Refuse to Mean)

  1. 7 June 2023 – Knee XRAY
    Result: “No fracture.”
    Translation: You can walk, therefore you must.
    Clinical impact: Weight-bearing agony ignored due to lack of theatrical evidence.

  2. 18 October 2023 – Bone Density Scan (DEXA)
    Result: T-score of -1.6 at the hip.
    Classification: “Below average for age.”
    What it should say: Early deterioration induced by chronic respiratory steroids — noted and ignored.

  3. 30 April & 17 March 2025 – Chest XRAYS
    Result: “Lungs hyperinflated.”
    Interpretation: Clear sign of obstructive airway disease (asthma), yet no action. No bronchodilator plan. No referral. Just the word “noted.”

Their job was not to scan. It was to see.


III. Why SWANK Filed This

Because the denial of injury is not the absence of harm.
Because normal scans in disabled bodies are often used as instruments of dismissal.

This record asserts:

  • That early-stage deterioration matters

  • That obstructive lungs do not need to collapse to be breathless

  • That bone loss without a fall is still failure

It is not the body that has failed to signal.
It is the institution that has failed to respond.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not regard “no fracture” as permission to collapse.
We do not accept “within expected range” as clinical resolution.
We do not tolerate the systemic erasure of diagnostic complexity in disabled and steroid-dependent patients.

Let the archive reflect:

  • The asthma was known

  • The bone loss was documented

  • The knee pain was real

  • The language was clinical

  • The disregard — was institutional

This was not “nothing wrong.”
It was everything ignored.
