The hypothermic environment would not be a track available or expected therapy. Patients have to be accurately diagnosed before that protocol is utilized. Without really knowing how severe Rene's injury is there really is not more to stay other than to keep coming back to the feeling or movement he had in his feet. Permanent paralysis cases never have movement or true feeling post event because there is no blood flow so he must have still had blow flow post injury.

Missed the transfer comment.....

Chicago has a first rate trauma service. There is no way a neuro injury in a city of that size and medical reputation doesn't get triaged to a Level 1 trauma center
