HEAD INJURY HEALED

JAMES CHAPMAN

A few years ago I injured my head while snowboarding. I have no recollection of the accident, and only a spotty recollection of the events that followed.

The friend I was with tells me that we were separated for about an hour when he found me sitting on a bench at the bottom of a lift. He was glad to see me, but quickly realized that something was wrong. I was disoriented and confused. He checked for bumps on my head, but found none. He then took me directly to the medical lodge at the resort. They told us that my injuries were serious and that I needed to be taken immediately to the hospital. Since no ambulance was readily available, my friend decided to drive me there.

When I arrived, they did a CAT scan of my head. They found my brain was bleeding and pressure was building between my brain and skull. When my wife arrived, the doctors told her that they needed to operate immediately, as my life was in danger. However, they wanted to ambulance me to another hospital about 30 minutes away, which was better equipped to perform the particular type of head surgery that was required.
