which famous people have had erbs palsy
Re: which famous people have had erbs palsy
Hiya...there is a French comedian who has a pretty severe TBPI (flail arm) as the result of an accident at age 14...unfortunately, I can't for the life of me remember his name. There is a fairly famous chef over here (been on TV) but he also has a TBPI....Not what you were asking for, but I thought you might find it interesting.
Re: which famous people have had erbs palsy
This is not exactly on topic, but there is a very famous painting by Albrecht Durer titled Madonna and Child, painted in 1505. The child has an obvious and severe BPI. Dr. Nath showed this at one of his presentations as an example of how far back Brachial Plexus injuries have been recorded.

Hmm. Stalin had a BPI? I can just see me telling Danny: "And honey, look at all Mr. Stalin was able to accomplish with a bad arm!!!" HA!
Don't think I'll include him on my list of BPI heroes, but that's pretty interesting!
