Cold Case

Kevin Everett had a spinal cord injury from playing football.  When Everett went down on the field medics rushed to his side.  One medic injected a chilling fluid to put Everett into a controlled case of hypothermia.  After they got Everett off the field they took him to the nearest hospital for surgery. Now,  medics and other spinal specialists are having a disagreement on what helped Everett the most, the surgery or the chilling fluids.
