  Dr. Suzy Kim: "No one really knows how many people suffer from disability to due to non-functioning spinal cords. The number everyone knows (12,000 new injuries per year) is wrong," she says, "because it only counts the people with externally caused injuries who arrive at one of the model hospitals."
  
  Dr. Kim is spinal cord injured herself, and is working on assembling a database so that we'll know how many people suffer from spinal cord-related disabilities.
