They DID X-Rays. Several of them. And still performed all the invasive procedures.
The article didn’t mention the exrays, I see others have said it was in the local news (and frankly I can’t imagine they’d have done anything without first exraying the guy).
In any case, the hospital is hugely complicit in a major violation of the guy’s person and between them and the city and the county he should be a millionaire when this is over.
The cops themselves, though, deserve special attention. They should be fired and they should be in jail when all the dust settles.
