[00:00:00]Excuse me. They they told me that you fell in the shower? I mean, is there something wrong with the safety handles?

[00:00:03]>> no, no, no. I just slipped.

[00:00:04]>> Okay, well, you're you're supposed to sit. That way you don't slip, right?

[00:00:07]>> We need to order a head CT with total spine.

[00:00:09]>> Lindsey is allergic to the metal that they use to stabilize her spine. The screws and plate have to come out. We're not going to be able to do this revision. So, what? We just leave her [music] like this?

[00:00:18]Paralyzed?

[00:00:19]>> We'll 3D print a matrix of coral and stem cells. So, your body will use it as a scaffold to fuse the vertebrae without any metal.

[00:00:25]>> who puts coral in people's necks?

[00:00:26]>> Well, technically, it's calcium carbonate. It is cutting-edge technology. Yeah. Well, with all due respect, cutting-edge just sounds like a fancy way of saying experimental [music] and expensive.

[00:00:34]>> asking you, Carlton. You just don't want me to have a chance at more independence.

[00:00:38]>> You couldn't take a shower without falling out of your chair.

[00:00:40]>> I fell because I was shaving my legs.

[00:00:42]You must know I had a date. And I was getting ready and I bent over a weird way to get the right angle on my knee and I fell. You happy? You had a date?

[00:00:49]With who?

[00:00:50]>> Not your business. And I don't need you constantly reminding me of my disability, okay? Trust me, I'm [music] aware. This is my decision and I'm getting this surgery. Can you print the coral now?
