If I owned a Hospital spinal cord fix nerve damage repair 

### Summary of Main Points:

1. **Spinal Cord Injuries**: The speaker discusses the challenges of treating spinal cord injuries, referencing Christopher Reeves as a notable example. Current medical practices are limited due to the high costs of FDA approval for new treatments.

2. **Innovative Treatment Methods**:
   - **Nerve Regeneration**: The speaker proposes using olfactory (nose) nerves, which can regenerate, to repair spinal cord injuries. By grinding up these nerves and injecting them into the damaged area, it could promote healing.
   - **Spinal Fluid Replacement**: Another method involves replacing spinal fluid with a mixture that could encourage nerve regeneration.
   - **Electro Muscle Stimulation**: Using electro muscle stimulators on either side of a nerve injury can stimulate regrowth, as can acupuncture needles placed above and below the injury site.

3. **Regrowth of Severed Limbs**: The speaker mentions experimental methods for regrowing severed limbs, such as:
   - **Pig Intestine Packing**: Leaving a wound open and packing it with powdered pig intestine may allow for regrowth of fingers.
   - **Calcium Plaster for Bone Repair**: Using calcium plaster to replace damaged bone can allow the body to regenerate bone tissue over time.

4. **Potential for Limb Regrowth**: The speaker suggests that with the right techniques, it may be possible to regrow entire limbs, drawing parallels to the regenerative abilities of salamanders.

### Conclusions:

- The speaker advocates for innovative, albeit unconventional, methods of treating nerve damage and limb loss, emphasizing the potential for regeneration that current medical practices often overlook due to financial constraints and regulatory hurdles.
- There is a call for more freedom in medical experimentation and treatment options, suggesting that if individuals had more autonomy, they could pursue these regenerative techniques without the limitations imposed by the current healthcare system.
- The discussion highlights the need for further exploration and research into regenerative medicine, particularly in the context of nerve and limb repair, which could significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with severe injuries.
