DR. Frederick W. William.... Tiley, helped to save my life on 3/12/00 at Salem hospital. I had been ivolved in a fairly extensive crash involving a downhill mountain-bike, 8 beers, bad judgement, and all of that coupled with the age of only 21 years, was a recipe for disaster. Im quite sure that if he reads this post, he would agree. This involves a finer point, however. I want all who read this to recognize the ability of a fine surgeon such as DR. Tiley. \r
\r
On March 4, 2001 at approximately 1 p.m. I was in involved quite extensively in a very serious accident just up the road from a place called blackrock in Dallas, Oregon...\r
\r
A trail I had been on many, many times... in the hopes, and pursuit of a future career in racing downhill bikes.\r
\r
I was 21 at the time, very self-confident, overly sure of my so-called abilities... And did I mention the eight beers?\r
\r
Here's the bottom line....\r
\r
After Dr. Wilson stabbed me with a giant needle, In part for helping to stabilize me before the first surgery, I was accosted by a one Dr. Johnson....pulmonary specialist. \r
\r
I harbor no ill-will towards the doctors and namely, the surgeons who performed my operations while i was in 3rd floor intensive care..room 314 3/4/00-3/12/00 and sixth floor for all my spine operations. Even with all the curse words I shared towards Dr. Johnson shortly after he had a pulmonary accident involving my left lung....Thank you doc..sorry for cursing at you.\r
\r
I know you are an excellent pulmonary specialist, otherwise you would'nt be there.\r
\r
And to Dr. Tiley... I remember you consoling me just before you turned me into a piece of titanium-caged machinery and I remember you.... with your wife, calming me down before surgery.\r
\r
I dont have a way to thank you enough... I just finally had a way to communicate with you and I thought I would pass along my thanks to you...You changed my life doc....And I love you for it.. Post my surgery comments PLEASE? LET OTHER YOUNG PEOPLE LEARN FROM MY CRASH. Show them my X-rays... Full permission on my end... Any legal documents thay would need to be signed, if need be. \r
\r
Sincerely, \r
