I'm amoung the few and fotunate for having my last rites given to me 3 different times after getting run over by a truck just before 17 yo and while things have turned out ok - The Doctors were wrong about alot and in disagreement ( and still are some 30+ yrs later ) about even more .
I had to make decisions based on all of what I was hearing and common sense . Not to long afterward I went to see a real sioux uipi man - a medicine man and we focused on some things which were out of bounds for conventional "white medicine " .
My view on Barbaro's Vet saying that no pre exsisting conditions were evident from his expert observations are acceptable - however it is still entierly possible that something was there which the tests and medical technology aren't picking up on ...
Based on my personal experience and just to cover all the base's and close the deal , The added value of getting a " good "medicine man " to see and talk to the horse might prove imeasurable - though I doubt it would be covered by insurence .
Dr. Richardson and entire mecical team involved w/ Barbaro are owed a huge debt beyond monetary terms for all their skills and expetise and , heroism - they've worked a kind of miracle irregardless of what the future might hold for the horse now ...
Based on the post - op pitures and footage ( of the injury leg ) that I've seen on TV and on the internet , the horse Looks in excellent spirit .
