Patient stories

Jason Johnson - I wrecked my motorcycle on my way to work in 2001. My bike had landed on top of me, breaking my back in two places, and if the paramedics hadn't gotten to me so fast I probably would have died from my injuries. I'd lacerated my kidneys and liver, and I had too many rib fractures to count. The nerve damage to my arms was so severe I couldn't even use them. Worst of all, I was permanently paralyzed from the waist down. watch video . . .

Holly Tylicki - After several surgeries at University Hospital, Holly was transferred to Drake Center. She had large, open wounds on her legs, and doctors thought she would need more skin grafts. They also said she might lose one of her legs and never walk again.  watch video . . .
