RIEF as follows: In Clctober 1995 he suffered a TIA (minor incapacitating stroke) As he found out much later this was caused by the caving in and dislocation of the bottom 3 cervical vertebrae, caused by the hog-tie transport of the police, see item 24-25 supra, (his prior neck problems, caused by a car accident to his top two cervical vertebrae, remained unchanged). After this he suffered many more ministrokes, because the neck arteries run through the vertebrae and are pinched when fuming his head, thus cutting off blood flow to the cerebellum in thr brain and resulting in an overall fuzzy feeling, loss of equilibrium, loss of memory and in extreme circumstances temporary total or partial loss of consciousness and falling flat to the floor. Neuro-surgeons have over a period of many months (and ongoing) performed many tests, and are considering if operations to the caved-in neck vertabrae, that are extremely dangerous to perform, are a worthwhile risk for relief and improvement, but might also lead to death. At night Plaintiff must wear a neck collar to immobilize his head. This was a direct result of above police actions. 48.

Ross' shoulders, which had given him problems before due to bursitis, tendi- nitis and osteo arthritis, became much worse and more painful from the barbaric police treatment described supra in Counts 1 to 3, causing the caving in of his lower cervical vertebrae so that he had to be operated over a period of a year for complete tears in his rotator cusp supra spinatus tendons which were repaired with metal pins drilled into the bone through 4-inch incisions on his shoulders, that were unfortunately followed by post- operative infections which repeatedly required a number of very heavy double dose anti- biotic treatments that in tum upset other body systems. 50. Ross suffered many months through very high doses of pain killing morphine type drugs that he must take in lower doses to this day along with sleep medications that cause long periods of sedation. lie suffered through endless series of physio-therapy sessions that he should still pursue to regain strength in his arms, but simply had to give up, because of overall weakness and the pressure of constant court appearances and ~6
