Product Description: A man is randomly stricken with a degenerative spinal disease that threatens to render him paralyzed for the rest of his life. Despite the bleak prognosis, he fights the illness head on with the support of his wife and an indominatable sense of humor.
Overcoming the Odds Excellent biography of a magazine editor who, stricken with a debilitating spinal condition, refused to give up, ignored his Doctor's dire predictions, designed his own cure (massive doses Vitamin C and laughter therapy), and won the battle. It's fun to watch the stodgy doctors gloom and doom pronouncement washed away by sheer determination of the Ed Asner character as Norman Cousins.
