Terry Bradshaw spinal injury Oct 10, 1976

Just saw update about Kevin Everett on Fox NFL Sunday. They were talking about the hypothermia and other treatment received and how he has regained some use of extremities.

Then they showed when Terry Bradshaw received a spinal injury. The care he received was they took a door off locker room and strapped him to it. Then they left him in the hallway till game ended. Loaded him still on door into airplane and flew him back to Pitt with the team. Then they took him to the hospital.

Man we have come a long way.

The joys of modern medicine. Just shows how advanced we have become. With all the advancements we have why hasnt anyone came up with a cure for cancer?

[spenac]

We've come far but not really. Sadly still use lots of unproven out dated methods in EMS.

Sit down and put on those MAST pants.
