Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the real-world approach Gail was going for, but her explanation of it took a simple neural implant to restore Barbara's full mobility to the extent as though she never had a spinal injury in the first place...it just doesn't reflect reality. In a way that's further adding insult to injury (no pun intended) since that's not what is typically seen with patients recovering from a spinal injury, especially not ones that severed their spinal cord.
It's enough to say it's not impossible to regain some degree of mobility following a spinal injury after a series of surgeries and physical therapy. But it's not as simple as one surgery did the trick and voila! Babs' is back to jumping on rooftops.
