Step 1 · Editorial composite · Miraculous Recoveries

The Woman Who Walked Away

The MRI showed a complete spinal cord transection at T6. There is no medical pathway by which a patient with this injury walks. But three weeks later, she walked into my office, carrying the scan that said she couldn't.

Step 2 · Editorial composite · Medical Training

Step 3 · Editorial composite · Ethical Dilemmas
