Yeow -- 3 broken neck bones and no immobilization? As I said, I'm no doc, but that seems strange to me.

When my doc said "halo" (after the interns had told me hard collar 12 hours earlier -- long long story) he said that he'd be concerned about my being in "only" a hard collar b/c even though the bone had stabilized, any jolt could be lights out. Getting rear-ended in a car, stumbling, even a Category 5 Sneeze might've done it.

But, again, I'm no MD, so pay me no mind. Best of luck on your friend's recovery.
