My friend just severed his spinal cord. what could be in store for him as of right now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Long tough recovery: Deficits from spinal cord trauma are defined by the location of the injury and whether the cord was completely transected or only partially damaged. That may not be known immediately depending on the other injuries suffered. A good neurologic exam can be as an MRI scan in predicting the degree of spinal cord damage. The course ahead is hard, and requires supportive friends and family.
