What if everything advanced as SLOWLY as hydrocephalus treatments?

Posted on June 4, 2014 by teamhydro

Not much has changed in the treatment of hydrocephalus since 1960 (arguably since 1955) when shunts became the standard of care.  To put that in perspective, we wondered, what would life be like if we hadn’t made advances in other areas since the 50’s?  When you look at it this way…isn’t it time for a change?!   Help Support Hydrocephalus Research.

For example, this was cutting-edge photo technology when the shunt was developed…1955 Camera

In the world of sports, George Mikan was leading the Minneapolis Lakers to an NBA championship, and a 21 year old Mickey Mantle, along with a 28 year old Yogi Berra, were leading the Yankee’s to a 5th consecutive World Series Championship…

In literature, Ernest Hemingway won the Pulitzer for “The Old Man and the Sea”…

People who were buying new cars were driving these around – without seat belts…

and the ladies were wearing these…

Unacceptable, right?  Stand up today and help change the status quo, Support Hydrocephalus Research!
