🏥🩻💥 SPINAL CORD INJURY⁉️
Spine injuries caused by automobile accidents can have severe and long-lasting effects on a person's health and quality of life. The impact forces involved in car crashes can lead to spinal fractures, herniated discs, and spinal cord injuries, resulting in chronic pain, paralysis, and mobility limitations.
Seeking immediate medical attention and legal assistance is crucial to ensure proper diagnosis, treatment, and pursuing rightful compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial consequences of such injuries.
After being involved in an accident, don’t suffer alone.

Assuming that you come to the medical clinic for spine care, the PCPs will stand by listening to you; you’ll go through cutting-edge imaging given your interests; and get an exact conclusion.

Continuing to think about This AU idea and just, slowly rotating it like a microwave.
@phoenixcatch7 had the fun idea of xenomorph-inspiration and the dollhouse being replaced by the Hive instead and I am here for that.
A large cave that feels utterly wrong to anyone not part of their colony, if they can even find it. I am thinking something similar to Gemini Home Entertainment if anyone has watched that, with something between plant and flesh growing across the walls.
Where one can't tell the difference between the two, or realize that it's already gripping onto them. The caves are already dangerous after all, nevermind the depths that It doesn't let anyone else into.
Also made me think about Jason, and like, so he doesn't die in the cryptid au, and definitely wouldn't in a world where he has a flesh puppet. But that still makes me think about how badly said puppet would be utterly maimed, right?
Not to mention the explosion that would burn a lot of it too alongside whatever affect that'd have on his mind and human body.
But now I am thinking of how the tunnels are everywhere under Gotham, how the bits of tendrils can reach through that ash, can meld with it, can for a cocoon of sorts. Turning a little robin into something else, letting it evolve into something new.
I am also rotating on if they'd be known to the Justice League like in the Doll au or if only Clark knows about them like in the Genesis au. Tempted for the second if only so there can be fun distinctly Not Human moments.
Maybe the Justice League even getting concerned for their friend Superman because there's times he'll whistle or chirp under his breath (he might have picked up a few habits from his friends from Gotham) or literally snap his teeth if he's startled.
But oh the lil robins would probably be so adorable. Very fluffy and downy and brightly colored in a clear warning, but still unsettling. The way they move isn't right, like a jerky contortionist, but can also go too fluid or completely inhumanely still within a heartbeat. Not helped by the fact they don't need to breathe.
O h, the batfam could most definitely be venomous. What with how in both Aus they use paralytics and sedatives on their claws and spikes, It could definitely include that within the secondary bodies.

Okay I'm a whump fan and nursing student, and this seems like a dumb question but I cannot find information fucking anywhere. How do spinal fractures/nerve damage only paralyze the skeletal muscles and not cause organs to stop working? Is there a specific type of injury or point in the spine that's the dividing line between death and paraplegia? Also, is there anything that works in reverse? Either a smaller injury or medication to the spine or nerves. The area being numb or not and skeletal muscle control don't matter as long as the organs and nervous system communication required for life are stopped
The short answer is that it is very common to have some level of organ dysfunction after a spinal injury. Some vital organs just don't need the brain to tell them what to do to be effective, or rely on other signals, such as hormones or the vagus nerve to transmit those signals instead of the spinal nerves.
For example:
The heart needs signals from the vagus nerve, but that exits the skull at a different place than the spinal column, so it is usually unaffected in a spinal injury.
The kidneys and liver are mostly controlled via hormones.
The stomach gets some nerve supply from the vagus nerve, but some from the T6-T9 area of the spine. The stomach may be weakened if a spinal cord injury is higher than T6.
The rest of the gastrointestinal tract and bladder is affected by just about any spinal injury, though whether this is an inability to pass stool or stooling without meaning to depends on where the injury is.
Lungs/diaphragm are controlled at the level of C8 and above, causing difficulty or weakness in breathing.
Spinal cord injuries come in 2 main types: Complete and incomplete.
Complete spinal cord injuries mean generally that the spinal cord has been severed and most or all signals have been stopped. This is usually a loss of sensation, muscle control, and possibly a problem with smooth muscle tissue like that in veins and arteries (causing low blood pressure).
Incomplete means the spinal cord has been torn or otherwise injured but some nerves can still send signals to areas below the site of injury. Incomplete is more of a choose your own adventure writing-wise, since it might mean there is movement but no sensation, sensation but no movement, some organ dysfunction, or a combination.
Having a vertebra break doesn't necessarily mean the spinal cord will be injured, but it does mean it is more likely.
The following are common consequences of complete or near-complete spinal cord injuries:
C1-C4: "neck down" paralysis, difficulty breathing on own, difficulty urinating or defecating on own, difficulty speaking. trouble with maintaining blood pressure.
C5-C6: "Shoulder down" paralysis. Weak breathing but able to breathe and speak on own, difficulty urinating and defecating. Trouble with maintaining blood pressure. Can raise arms and bend elbows, difficulty moving hands and wrists.
C7-C8: "Armpit down" paralysis. Potentially weak breathing, able to use arms and hands, sometimes able to drive an adapted vehicle, may be able to transfer from bed to wheelchair, trouble maintaining blood pressure, bowel or bladder must be managed with catheter, medications, etc..
T1-T5: "Belly down" paralysis. Breathing is intact, but may not be able to hold themselves up due to weakness of back and abdominal muscles. Trouble maintaining blood pressure. Bowel or bladder must be managed with catheter, medications, etc..
T6-T12: "Pelvis down" paralysis. Can probably hold themselves up in a wheelchair, may walk with braces or walking frame, bowel or bladder must be managed with catheter, medications, etc..
L1-L5: "Buttock down" paralysis. May have difficulties with bowel and bladder that can be managed with incontinence supplies, may be able to walk with braces or walking frame, may have some specific movements in legs.
S1-S4: "Buttock down" weakness. Difficulties with controlling bowel and bladder that can be managed with incontinence supplies, probably able to walk with braces. Depending on level of injury may have some leg movements but not others.

It's not a secret that Miles and Miles Gonzalo's love language is play fighting. Almost every day, the twins are either locked in an epic playful wrestling match or grappling with each other because one refused to share their bag of chips. Because Miles is Spider-Man and can punch a hole through a boulder, he's always careful not to cause any permanent injury to his twin. He is constantly dialing his full strength back to 10% to avoid accidentally breaking Gonzalo's bones.
Their play fights are usually held in Gonzalo's bedroom, sometimes in the kitchen ( Rio put a stop to that real quick after the twins accidentally dented the fridge when Gonzalo slammed Miles's head into the fridge's door ), the backyard, and even in Uncle Aaaron's living room. Aaron would be sitting on the couch, chilling and watching tv, while the twins would be off to the side, trying to put the other in a headlock, laughing and trash-talking each other. Aaron doesn't bother butting in, but occasionally he'll glance away from the television to watch them with a fond expression before going back to watching his show.
