Be kind to spinal cord injury patients. What they endure is never what they deserve. ❤. Hope Doc is doing ok.
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
That was a truly meaningful comment thank you
@@therealcfiddy592 people actually have "friend groups"?
@@mt_gox eh, not really. A couple of dudes at work and I would ride mountain bikes and go snowboarding. I don’t have friends anymore
@@therealcfiddy592 oh ok then you are un-judged thx
That’s terrible. I pray he comes back from this stronger and wiser than ever.
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.
Praying for him❤ strong man
I wish you the best. Poor doctor. I sure am sorry. Don't ever give up.
agree, don't ever give up, that is the key to success,
Rex saved my wife Sundaes life. A tumor has come back different not on bone. Wish he could still save lives, great man great Dr. I call him Dr. Angel. Sincerely Carl Smith
Hiiiii!!!! 😊 I’m a C4,5,6! It’s been 2 years since my diving accident! But I’ve made good recovery! I’m making videos to motivate people like me! Please check them out to see how! 🙏🙏
I had the very same accident in 1991. I hope you are hanging in there
Sending prayers to you Dr. Marco. God is healing you.
Sending him all of the love in the world ❤️
Hope he recovers. One less doctor is bad for everyone.
Not just a Dr. A wizard of medicine

Pretty sure your spine doesnt recover
how can you recover from a spine injury ?
I pray this highly trained man finds unique purpose for his situation. ❤️🙏💞
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.❤❤❤
Oh my this is heartbreaking
I hope this finds you on the road to a full recovery 💖

Sending love and healing ♥️
Thank you for your transparency.
He is a STRONG GUY.

1:31 I'm wondering how his tire 'got stuck' on a public road to cause a complete flip? Bizarre.
Hope the park admin. cleared up whatever hazard existed on/in the roadway...
Even to break spine for it? Flip over bike?
I also broke my neck 3 locations and 3 locations on spine but I am walking and moving
🙏PRAYERS🙏

The irony.
Sorrow doc.. knowing is worde..
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?
I'm c5 c6 the wheelchair ♿ will not hold me Down I have leg movement and I'm constantly moving 😇..who ever see this you will walk again don't believe anything else you hear ❤❤ keep retraining the movement you have. 🧠💪
I am a T6 & I share the same hopes to walk again as well. Are you seeing any changes past year 2 from injury? Have you looked into Dr. Wise Youngs work?
@@JDMvids1105l2 burst fracture and I can walk now everywhere but with a walker
Have problems with urine control and can only hold 200ml, highest 400ml
It's a Battle you fight in the mind
L2 burst fracture can walk and control both 1&2
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🥺
"Eager to get back to work"? I hope I am wrong but I think that's unlikely.
Get better friend
Explain
@@dachadoodle7146
Why ?
the irony. dats crazy
What a sad thing
How ironic is life.. life has a dark humor sometimes!
Isn't that ironic
Remember to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle
Being a quad C5,6,7 myself I do hope Elon Musk push harder on the Neurolink project.Kinda our only hope .
What are the chances of that
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. 🙏
Life is fragile ✝✝
This is all kinds of fucked up and irony
I think it's time for me to sell my bike. Better to do than sorry
🙏
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.
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.
This is ironic as heck😮😢
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.
The irony…
That dude is done 😔
Medical assistance in dying for parapalegics
Why
Lol 😂
Are you a paraplegic? I was told depression is very common for this condition. If you are or not, sending prayers of comfort your way.❤❤❤
You know this dude absolutely hates being paralyzed.
There's nothing to love on it.
@@barrylyndon80 Duh.
HIROHITO BONZAI! 🤭
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
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
Being lazy pays off. I'm not risking my health doing adventure sports..
Sadly bikes are more dangerous than we think
Was he not wearing a helmet?
Helmet will not save your spine. Almost all riders I know of who got paralyzed were wearing helmets.
@@ibanez2010then how to protect oneself from a spinal accident
Neck braces.
@@ibanez2010 what you mentioned will only protect cervical areas, what about you get injured at thoracic and lumbar areas? What then
@@manikyumstop riding motorcycles and especially dirt bikes. It happens very frequently to those who do
anyone else bothered by the booger?
No. I'm bothered by you, tho.
@@debraarnold3703 why? i'm not the one with the nasty booger
@@debraarnold3703😂
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
He saved their lives by performing surgery on them, he doesn’t owe them his lifelong friendship. Ridiculous
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.
@@Quique724 u butthurt brah? LOL it's literally karma to that quack
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.
Demon!
