Denver Neurosurgeon Performs Rare Surgery to Help Former Paramedic Walk His Daughter Down the Aisle

In 1995, paramedic Russell McKeehan’s ambulance driver fell asleep and rolled the vehicle. The resulting injury eventually left him paralyzed from the neck down. After accommodating his disabilities, he sought a surgical intervention from neurosurgeon Dr. Scott Falci. In what some called a miracle, he regained the ability to use his arms and legs. Later, he was in another auto accident in which he broke his neck, humerus, several ribs, and bones in his sternum. But Russell had a dream to walk his daughter down the aisle on her wedding day. He once again reached out to Dr. Falci in a “rarer surgery; one that only 10% of patients will ever receive…” “Twelve hours after the surgery, we weren’t expecting this, he’s moving his arm, he’s pulling his arm up to his face, and he’s kicking his left leg,” the doctor said. “He’s a highly motivated guy, and he’s been through a lot, and, yeah, what he’s achieved, just with self-determination and desire is amazing.”
