No sir, I'm not. Just a few years ago I thought about how that Boston based trauma team saved my undeserving bacon, literally. I searched for them online in order to let them know just how much what they did for me meant to me and my family from that day on. I did exactly that, and was able to find 2 of the 3 that gave me my very life beyond the day of my horrific wreck.

Drs. Tortella and Christiansen in particular have my undying and never ending gratitude. Every single day I've lived since I ate it in '86 I owe to them. Literally. Here's the guy who came to work one fine morning wearing a white cape and went home the next day exhausted and worn to a frazzle, I'm sure, but he'd saved a kid's life that day--my life.

36 years later and counting, I've never forgotten what he gave to me that day--and every day since and every single one to come. May God bless those amazing doctors and nurses who do what they did then, and do now.
