VT cares about having the Big East's most prolific scorer healthy. The cool part is that they are using a computerized knee brace to help bring him back to full speed." As the tools available to medical rehabilition improve, what other advances can we expect in the near future?

    Turned out the ACL was intact, but there was meniscus damage and "a lot of junk and blood in there" that needed to be cleaned up, said the surgeon. I was on crutches for about a week.



    Why would blood ever get in your access control lists?
