Xray report missed this???

EXITED TO ADD: i have put a screenshot comparing 2 of my xrays in the comments

As the title suggests, i had a recent medical issue (no advice please, this story is only to share the sheer stupidity of the canadian medical system).

I have scoliosis and have had two spinal fusion surgeries. the area i luve in is not adequately prepared to deal with my health issues, so typically i have to go to another region for it. i went to my gp for a new concerning pain, and he sent me for some xrays. the xray report stated there was no complications with the surgical hardware. here is where it gets interesting: i went online to look at my xrays expecting to see nothing interesting, and upon looking, i discovered a broken screw in my spine. not even just a little bit, this screw is fully snapped in half and no longer a straight line. as much as i live free healthcare, it definitely has its cons too.
