Thing #7 - Technology related post

Medical technology fascinates me. The spinal cord injury this past weekend suffered by Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett was initially described by physicians as "catastrophic". However, using a hypothermic method immediately and continuning the cooling throughout his surgery, yesterday doctors were able to get Everett to voluntarily move his arms and legs. Although Everett will never play football again, the fact that he could recover and walk is a complete 180 degree turn from what the medical community believed just 24 hours earlier.
