Our Own Stem Cell Birthday

As mentioned previously, your stem cell birthday is a really important time for patients to come to terms with the fact that they have a new body in some sense. This is the beginning of the end of multiple sclerosis for many of the patients in some form or another. Therefore, it is an incredibly important day for them. Everyone is given a badge with an iris on that signifies new life, is given a hug by Dr Fedorenko and pours a little bit of liquid nitrogen onto the floor as part of the ritual. Dr Fedorenko always gives an impassioned speech. Considering he must give this almost every day or at least three or four times a week to separate patients, it is amazing that he still has the same passion and love for what he does and what he says.
