Why can't Gary Harvey have these treatments?

Luis said...

He's a veteran, too!

Connie, I think Gary Harvey can have these treatments, it is the fair and equal access to the treatments he cannot have because his captors want to exclude Gary.

what a compelling story and to see that young man walk again after months and months in a bed and chair, remarkable what proper treatment, love and attention can produce.

Thank you NASGA for posting this story and thank you PBS for airing the story. PBS beats the heck out of the Lifetime channel

This is good news for people who suffer from TBI, but if the treatments aren't available to all those who need them, then people are being denied which isn't fair.

In reality these folks cost the taxpayers less if they are helped.
