Abby Rout
Student Paralysed Within Two Hours
Just a couple of hours after she was struck by a rare spinal disorder, Abby Rout, 20, became paralysed from the neck down.
It all began when Rout felt shooting pains and numbness in her hand, losing all feeling below her neck within the span of 2-hours. Diagnosed as having acute transverse myelitis, doctors say it is a rare condition caused either by a viral infection, vaccination or spinal injury.
