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. -- John Schuelke

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:

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.

The large vertabrae at the back of the base of your neck is C8. -- Chuck Stuart - Mesquite TX USA VBTrace 96 is a runtime Procedure Trace, XRef, Debug, Profiler and much more. Shareware $49. http://www.apexsc.com/vb/ftp/coop/cstuart
