Fast, Quality Care Improves Spinal Cord Recovery
Fast, Quality Care Improves Spinal Cord Recovery
By Michael S. Shear, M.D. A spinal cord injury in a football game is truly frightening. It certainly was for Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett on Sept. 9. Fortunately, Everett's injury was not as bad as it seemed at first, and he received excellent care, both on the field and in the hospital. While attempting to make a tackle on a kickoff, Everett suffered a fracture and dislocation of his spine between the third and fourth vertebrae in the neck. The spinal cord runs through the middle of the vertebrae in the neck and carries messages from the senses to the brain, and from the brain to the muscles and organs. http://www.pressboxonline.com/story.cfm?id=2733
