Hoogland and Dekkers' spine centers are completely separate businesses that operate out of the same building.
I don't know anyone with permanent paralysis, but I do know a couple of people with such rapid onset of very severe neuro deficit, that it's not difficult to imagine. I have had several clients with substantial cord compression, but without pain or substial symptoms. They understand the risks in waiting and some are proceeding prophylactally, while others are waiting. The client I wrote about on the 'rebound' thread has such a severely altered gait, but as I said, he waited more than a year in the presence of such severe symptoms. These are tough questions that you'll get conflicting answers to. I won't presume to know what you should do. Let me know if you want to talk,
All the best,
Mark
