His recovery has been exceptional, but all cases are different.

IMHO, in a combat zone, you are more likely to see spinal injury in conjunction with other trauma than in isolation, and further injury may be caused treating more immediate life-threating injuries or removing the patient from the hazard.

Just my .02, YMMV.

I figured any movement would do more harm than good, but figured the Docs had a solution for everything. Thanks.
