As an adult scoliosis case & a graduate nurse of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto I can't believe what I've read about "English" Canada ignoring the Spinecor brace invented by a "French" Canadian Dr. here in Montreal at the Ste. Justine's Children's Hospital. The implication of this is so ridiculous it doesn't deserve a response, except that it is done on the backs of pain- wracked adolescents who could be helped without unnecessary surgery {which usually doesn't work}. Parents should be appalled at this blatant political move. R. Registered nurse
