Frightening Fall in France

There is a terrifying story out of Nebraska that shows the worst can happen in the most idyllic of spots. A teen on a school trip with his parents was walking on an ancient town wall in the south of France when he fell two stories and broke his back. The Omaha World-Herald tells a terrifying story of how his parents, who didn't speak French, couldn't tell the nurses, who were lifting their son up, that he had broken his back and shouldn't be moved.
Injury in a foreign country is frightening. But imagine if a language barrier made it life-threatening.
