Description
Excerpt from Injuries of the Spine and Spinal Cord: Without Apparent Mechanical Lesion, and Nervous Shock, in Their Surgical and Medico-Legal Aspects
The lesions which collision accidents are presumed to cause are far more subtle. The accident has been slight there is no evidence of any blow having been received; the injured person is unaware, perhaps, that he has been hurt, and yet, nevertheless, the delicate structure of the spinal cord is supposed to have been damaged by the jar of the collision, and to have become liable thereby to morbid structural changes, which, not manifest at first, most surely advance as time goes on, revealing themselves by symptoms only after months or years, and dooming the sufferer to a life of pain, misery and uselessness.
