BUFFALO, N.Y. — Kevin Everett’s doctor plans to have him stand on his own soon, and believes the Bills tight end will be walking within weeks - or sooner.

Dr. barth Green tells WBEN’s Barbara Burns; “I’d say in the next few days or weeks he’ll be standing and walking, not normally.  It might take weeks or months for him to walk more normally.”  Green spoke with WBEN after discussing Everett’s condition with Bills orthopedic surgeon Dr. Andrew Cappuccino.

The prognosis is remarkable after Everett arrived at Millard Fillmore Gates Hospital paralyzed from the neck down after being hurt while making a tackle in Buffalo’s season opener against Denver on Sept. 9. Doctors initially expressed fears Everett would never walk again.

You can hear Dr. Green on “Buffalo’s Early News” with John Zach and Susan Rose tomorrow morning and hear Kevin Evertt’s mom by going to wben.com.

The miraculous medical treatment Keven Everett received is the result of market forces at work.  Less government involvement with health care would lead to more stories like this.
