Brain and Spine Problems
Transporting skull flap craniotomy pat.
My sister had undergone Craniotomy at Hyderabad 6 months ago and the skull flap removed was stored at the hospital OT. We reside in Mumbai so we would like to have the crainoplasty done close to home.
How much is the risk of contaminating the flap by transporting for 6hrs? I would be carrying it myself. From hyderabad hospital to mumbai hospital it will take 6hrs by flight.
If its safe to transporting, what kind of equipments, what measures to be take for carrying it by myself?

Spinal Cord Injury
My grandfather fell from the roof and has got stitches on the back of his head. He has a spinal cord injury D11-D12.
His lower body has become insensitive. He's under medical care in Bhopal and the doctor is suggesting surgery.
We want more opinions and want to consult other doctors in Mumbai and Nagpur.
Is a surgery necessary or can it be avoided?

Multiple sclerosis
I was diagnosed with ms last may. Since then I am taking interferon beta 1a. Recently when I checked fridge temp it was hardly coming between 2-8°c which is a prerequisite to store interferon. Temp went negative many times and >9°c a few times. May be because of improper storing I had problems 2 times though I was taking interferon. This surprised even the doctor treating me. Please answer whether it means that I should start interferon medication again for 2 years?
Thank you
