Have you met Dr. Spine? This quirky character is the
alter ego of Dr. Steven Stiens, a physical medicine and rehabilitation
specialist in the VA Puget Sound Health Care System and at the
University of Washington. He is living proof that there is a fulfilling
life to be had in a wheelchair, but wants to warn you that there are
some risks to look out for as well.
People with paralysis are often
more susceptible to specific secondary conditions than their
able-bodied peers. Many of these conditions can be avoided if you know
what to look for and Dr. Spine is here to show you.
This week the good doctor is back with his offbeat brand of humor to discuss a very common condition, Depression.
