A Team Effort (Episode 64)

U2FP CureCast

Jason and Matthew interview Dr. Camillo Castillo, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Physician at Frazer Rehabilitation Hospital in Louisville KY along with his Clinical SCI Navigation team: Emily Coons, Brendan Doksa and Heather Connor. We are raising a simple question about the introduction of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) to the clinic: are we ready to receive it? What will that look like? Who follows the person with the stimulator? Who sets the parameters for stimulation? How is it paid for? And what part of SCI is it intended to treat? Many of us might assume that these questions will work themselves out, but for anyone who has lived through a SCI knows that things don’t simply work themselves out. So, what can we as a community do to influence the ways in which innovative and curative treatments, not just SCS, unfold for our community, all of our community?
