Dr. Chow, you know, certainly the NFL praying
for the health of a player this week.
And, you know, certainly it's the most
serious injury it would seem of the season.
Linebacker Jack Campbell of the Detroit Lions, who we were just anxious
and waiting updates on with the serious injury that he had last week.
I see some reports.
We're on the cautiously optimistic side and positive side,
but I'm wondering your thoughts
on this injury, Dr. Chow, because it certainly seems
that Dan Campbell and that team very
emotional in it and maybe quite the road back here for Campbell.
Well, look, the great news,
there's always good and bad news with everything.
The great news is all his legs are fine,
his recovery motion in his arms.
And it looks like, fingers crossed,
that he'll be able to enjoy his newborn child and live a normal life.
That is to be celebrated, football is secondary.
But the bad news and the worry is there is no question he had
a spinal cord injury, an incomplete spinal cord injury.
He's not paralyzed. He's not a quadriplegic,
but it's called a central cord syndrome. I haven't
examined him, but that's the syndrome where your legs
are better than your arms. And we hope for a
complete full recovery. Let's have that first.
And then we can talk about football or no football.
Bottom line is everyone is praying for him.
And so far we're on the good side of it, right? It's
It's at least on the recovery path.
Yeah, scary moment last week there for Jack Campbell,
and good to see that he is at least okay and stable.
