Why Buffalo Bills Player Everett Is Not Paralyzed

Posted by Twist Published in Cool idea

I love cool tech and cool ideas. Apparently after the fear that Everett would be totally paralyzed, he has a much better prognosis now and this is why. I was watching NFL On NBC when I heard them talking about this procedure. It seems to be a bit controversial and if it seemed to make things worse, I would assume someone would sue as is the American Way but it all seems good.

Often these great ideas take a while to catch on and I have to guess part of it has to do with the ego of doctors. Either way this will bring it to the forefront and possibly help many future injury patients.

Another interesting piece was that the NFL had been funding The Miami Project but a few years ago stopped for concussion research. “The NFL has donated $1.5 million to the Miami Project and provided another $500,000 in grants for spinal injury research but ended its funding to instead focus on studies about concussions, which is a more far-reaching medical concern.”
