Figure 9. Left. Donald Munro (1898–1978) has been called the “father of paraplegia.” Photo courtesy of the Society of Neurological Surgeons. Right. Sir Ludwig Guttmann (1899–1980) was put in charge of an SCI unit at Stoke-Mandeville Hospital in 1946. Like Munro, he realized that doctors had to be interested in all the needs of the patient, not only those within one's specialty.
