That is true, however to most people who don't happen to be medical doctors,
a "broken neck" implies a very serious injury. I for one, appreciated the
clarification.

As far as I'm concerned, he knew more than the original poster. He knew that
people would care to know about how Emmo was doing, not just that he had a
broken neck.

Wow, big shot doctor has to show how smart he is. Chuck was being a little
misleading since I believe most people would infer that a broken neck was a
catastrophic injury with a high likelihood of paralysis. Gregory was simply
trying to allay people's fears about the injury. I heard the same information
as Gregory, and I didn't hear anyone say the injury was in the neck, so I was
surprised to see the header say "Emmo broke his neck."

In fact, here is Papa Doc's response to Gregory:

>Thank GOD I got scared when I read the first post. Thanks for
>correcting it. There has been enough deaths and injuries in the last 3
>years its time for a break.

So I think my inference about Chuck's post was pretty accurate.

So please don't post until you understand the actual ideas that are being
communicated. Your knee-jerk, smartypants reaction just makes you look
like a bitter guy trying to gain some self-esteem by showing how smart
you are.

But maybe I'm asking too much, since I found the following elsewhere:

At least we know which hospital to avoid. I feel sorry for your patients.

Just out of curiosity, exactly how close is the seventh vertabrae
to the neck? Sheesh, I'm glad I've never had a "doctor" so defensive and
***y. Nobody made any rude remarks until you did. Look back at the last
three posts!

A fractured vertebra, if it's located in the neck region, IS a "broken
neck", regardless of how serious it is.

Don't post things you know nothing about.

The large vertabrae at the back of the base of your neck is C8.

If fractured isn't broken then what is it? Been there, done that.
