Meet Page Staffa
Rehabilitation Center
Since July 2014, GulfWorld Marine Institute has been rehabilitating
Charlie, a loggerhead sea turtle that was a boat strike victim. Over the
last 12 months, Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center has graciously
allowed the use of their CT and MRI machines to assist veterinarian
Dr. Lydia Staggs in understanding Charlie’s condition.
Dr. Staggs has found that despite severe trauma to the vertebra,
miraculously Charlie has recovered movement and feeling of his hind
flippers. She is currently investigating the reason for this.These findings
could potentially help doctors understand injuries of the spinal cord
that were previously undetermined.
The staff at Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center follows all federal,
state and local laws to ensure proper cleaning and sterilization of
medical equipment for the safety of human patients.
