Big MSNBC Article on SCI

Filed under: Disabilities in the Media, SCI Info, Wheelchair Life — Tiffiny @ 1:45 pm

It was just published yesterday, and itĀ talks about all the really exciting and varied options there areĀ (stem cells, olfactory cells, estim, schwann cells, pharmeceuticals, ‘aggressive PT,’ and gene therapy) to hopefully treat SCI, and soon find a cure/treatment.

Advances offer hope for spinal cord injured patients

It’s just good to see this kind of stuff in the news.

The more public awareness on SCI, the better! For real! We can’t let Paris Hilton, pointless primary coverage, and news on Scarlett Johanson’s engagement hog the news ALL the time.

  3. See you re-wrote last part. Didnt make sense earlier. Too many Bombay Sapphires? lol just kidding :) Anywho ha, that X-ray pic looks nasty. Is that a C-level or T-level break; or do you know?

  5. Sorry! Sapphires refers to previous blog entry - “Your wheelchairs for India” Bollywood party. Bombay Sapphires. Nothing to do with Scarlett. Sorta mixed/matched the 2 together. My bad. Btw, Willis understands that answer to your April 27th item: Hat name removed. Tks.
