00:00Dr. Chow, certainly the NFL praying for the health of a player this week, and certainly it's the most serious
00:06injury it would seem of the season.
00:08Linebacker Jack Campbell of the Detroit Lions, who we were just anxious and waiting updates on with the serious injury
00:15that he had last week.
00:16I see some reports are on the cautiously optimistic side and positive side, but I'm wondering your thoughts on this
00:25injury, Dr. Chow,
00:26because it certainly seems that Dan Campbell and that team very emotional in it and maybe quite the road back
00:31here for Campbell.
00:33Well, look, the great news, there's always good and bad news with everything.
00:38The great news is all his legs are fine, his recovery motion in his arms, and it looks like, fingers
00:45crossed,
00:46that he'll be able to enjoy his newborn child and live a normal life.
00:50That is to be celebrated football as secondary.
00:53But the bad news and the worry is there is no question he had a spinal cord injury, an incomplete
01:00spinal cord injury.
01:01He's not paralyzed.
01:02He's not a quadriplegic, but it's called a central cord syndrome.
01:06I haven't examined him, but that's the syndrome where your legs are better than your arms, and we hope for
01:12a complete full recovery.
01:14Let's have that first, and then we can talk about football or no football.
01:19Bottom line is everyone is praying for him, and so far, we're on the good side of it, right?
01:25It's at least on the recovery path.
01:28Yeah, scary moment last week there for Jack Campbell, and good to see that he is at least okay and
01:33stable.
