Cincinnati brain surgeon makes use of helmet

Health care providers are forever preaching the value of cycling helmets, but
Dr. John M. Tew, medical director of The Neuroscience Institute at the
University of Cincinnati and University Hospital, made the point in an
unusually dramatic style during the Kroger Brand MS 150 Bike Tour, July 10-11,
in southwest Ohio, USA. An experienced cyclist, Dr. Tew took a nasty spill
while captaining Team Waddell in the annual MS fundraiser when he turned too
sharply onto a side street at 32 km/h. The fall cracked Dr. Tew’s helmet in
two places, but the neurosurgeon escaped with only superficial scrapes and with
all brain cells intact, and he was able to finish the ride.
In addition, Team Waddell's 57 cyclists, representing Cincinnati's new Waddell
Center for Multiple Sclerosis, raised well over $20,000 for local and national
programs overseen by the USA's National MS Society.
