For most people, falling down a flight of stairs is not a pleasant experience, even if they survive the ordeal.
Those who need to be sent to the emergency department are at risk for broken bones, bruising, and potentially even death. However, it was perhaps for the best that Cameron Scott,
An 8-year-old child, did fall so hard that he had to be taken to the hospital. After falling down a set of stairs in 2017, Cameron had a severe back injury.
Alarming, but not entirely surprising—after all, escaping unscathed from a fall like that would have been more remarkable. But a visit to the hospital would soon reveal that.
Things were more complicated than they seemed. Tamika Scott, the boy’s mother, described how, at the time, the whole experience seemed quite bizarre.
