I am in a remote area. My partner has suffered 5 ruptured discs L1 and down. There was a pocket of spinal fluid under the skin in an oval with some parts being gel like. This morning, 5 days later, he has suffered spinal compression, probable fracture. I am not a doctor and I have no equipment. In order to transport him on rough terrain what can I use to maintain the integrity of his spinal column?
