Must be very humbling to have been the doctor treating those with spinal injuries then to suddenly find yourself in their shoes. I wish him well in his recovery.
I had a friend turned enemy who turned on me and my whole friend group and then ghosted everyone. I hated that guy and held anger for years. Guess what he's now a quadriplegic. That's why I'm here. Never wish something bad would someone, because you might get exactly what you wish for. Soooo not worth the anger I held for him. God I wish he was okay

Dear Dr Marco, i pray for your full recovery and i hope you will fight for it. You can contribute so much more, even now, with this new perspective of lived experience to give other patients hope. I lost my 77yr old dad to a T1 complete spinal injury because the ER doctors were so negative about what his future would look like. There seem to be so many new promising technolgies for repairing the spinal chord. God Bless.❤❤❤

Terrible news. I'm an avid cyclist myself. I've had several over-the-handlebars crashes, but luckily didn't land on my head. What happened to this doctor is beyond awful. He can neither ride again or practice medicine the way he once did.

Hi people all right? Then search the internet search engines for nerve transplantation or neurorrhaphy. I read some articles that say that some quadriplegic people moved their arms and some legs again. But I don't know if this is being tested or if these surgeries are already being performed, so that people can walk again. If paraplegic or quadriplegic people walked again it would be great! I hope it helps ! A hug ! Then see the articles. I believe that they already perform these surgeries in some places and see first if it's worth it, or if the person gets worse afterwards. If not, don't. You have to be careful with these things. Because sometimes it can be irreversible.
Jesse Collens in Tacoma Washington has C1 spinal injury 15 yrs ago also from a bicycle accident . He is on a ventilator & 24 hr RN nurses . Jesse CANNOT move & seeks female relationship not a caregiver.
We are the result of our daily choices. Of course he should have thought it better what are the chances for a freak accident while riding a bike on a busy path.
Doctor Rex, I'm so sorry to hear of your "accident." I believe that all things happen for a reason, even if our tiny minds see them as "accidents." They're more of the "divine appointment" variety. This flesh is quite temporal with our Spirits being the eternal component within us. Since my "appointment" 20 years ago I've been on a quest for Truth and I've discovered things that I could have never imagined previously. God bless you Doctor Rex, I'm sure you're going to do even more amazing things!!!
1:15 "...cuz I never really saw what happened to people long term." Gee. A spine surgeon who never bothered to go see up close & personal how quadriplegics exist day-to-day ... ends up - wait for it - A QUADRIPLEGIC!!! lol priceless Boys and girls, can you say "karma"? lol You can see the abject terror ... and RAGE in those eyes. LOL
How is this karma? He is a doctor with a really specific specialization. It’s not his job to to rehab and follow up with his patients, that would take a ton of time away from the thing he specializes in and would otherwise be helping less people. It’s not a fault of his own, but his job description. You don’t get to see the full process of something or the full picture when you are in a niche position. It takes another level of stupid to call this karma when this guy has had such a huge impact on others.
There is really only one way to know what people with spinal cord injuries go through. This doctor now knows. He previously spent his life helping people, may he now get the excellent care he deserves, and may he bring the benefits of his experience into his life, continuing to help others, going forward. Anyone who thinks a spinal cord injury is "karma" has a little piece of soul missing ... I don't think there's any surgery or treatment that can restore that, and it's a handicap much worse than physical quadriplegia.
Must be very humbling to have been the doctor treating those with spinal injuries then to suddenly find yourself in their shoes.
I wish him well in his recovery.
Be kind to spinal cord injury patients. What they endure is never what they deserve. ❤. Hope Doc is doing ok.

That’s terrible. I pray he comes back from this stronger and wiser than ever.

Praying for you.
How is he now ? Any more recover can any one pls tel me thanks
Is there an update? Prayers for him
God bless you....
do he have a social media account that we can follow up on his recovery?
I assume he can no longer operate on patients

Isn't that ironic
Remember to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle
Sorrow doc.. knowing is worde..
How ironic is life.. life has a dark humor sometimes!
Like how I got tinnitus and sensitivity in my right ear from an air gun from work when protecting my precious ears were always on my mind 🤪
Is he korean? I feel pity for him. He is doctor becoz of accident he is now quadriplegic. I hope God recover him and back him to normal🥺

Makes me glad I don’t cycle (or dive). It can all go south in an instant.
never never dive on water, no matter if you see the bottom or not.....
Many people also got paralyzed due to a car crash....you don't drive?
"Eager to get back to work"? I hope I am wrong but I think that's unlikely.
This is ironic as heck😮😢

Im living here Quebec, Canada. And yes we make surgery that tetraplegic can move arm and hand...but its not miraculous, its basic fonction recovery.

That dude is done 😔
He is fully recovered now.. However, he cant be surgeon anymore because he still doesn't have full control of his hands.
How is that a full recovery 🤨
Can he walk
He is not fully recovered. There's another video of him,he still not able to walk. I really hope he walks again. With God all things are possible. 🙏
Being lazy pays off. I'm not risking my health doing adventure sports..
Sadly bikes are more dangerous than we think
Did he wear helmet ⛑
Jay Khan he has a spinal injury not a head injury
ayftb But what if a helmet could prevent shockwaves from getting to the spine?
@@dachadoodle7146 his neck snapped from the impact. It's not due to shock waves. Be safe. It can happen to anyone
Yes, it says he did
HIROHITO BONZAI! 🤭
Crazy to think if he didn't become a surgeon, he wouldn't haven't ended up paralyzed
Why? He could have still had a bike accident
@@kisong1960 Doubt it, chances that happening again is very slim

Helmet will not save your spine. Almost all riders I know of who got paralyzed were wearing helmets.
