"I am a retired Orthopaedic Surgeon.....(SUNY 1964) Internship Kings County/Residency Albert Einstein. The"Emotional Atomic Bomb" experienced by the parents of acute quadriplegics (in the ER} always "haunted" me. I decided to "do something positive"after a 17 yr. old lifeguard became a quadriplegic. The 10 min. video is seen worldwide."
Very well done! We have probably all seen unfortunate victims of reckless diving. I know that I have seen them in my community.~ Jules Plafker, M.D., Class of 1964
