| Clarence is not alone in sustaining these appalling injuries, as a visit to his hospital so painfully demonstrates. Visitors to Clarence's site might also be interested to see how Christopher Reeve is coping with similar injuries and might find it enlightening to visit some of the many Internet sites devoted to the spine and spinal injuries. Visiting these sites may provide answers to questions that you have about the nature of Clarences injuries and will help you keep abreast of developments in the treatment of spinal injuries. | ||
