Glenn Laird
Glenn came to California Hospital Medical Center following a routine motor vehicle collision but things quickly took a drastic turn:
“I started out as a routine traffic accident victim, but soon I began to crash. My brother and his wife gathered at my side to say their goodbyes. But before I lost consciousness, I was asked a simple question: Do you want to live? I responded, yes.
One doctor became an orchestra leader. He summoned all of the various professionals that a trauma center could muster and then the magic began as everything possible was done to bring me back from the brink of death. Through the technology and skills of a well-trained team, I made it and awoke four days later to realize that I had just been given the gift of continued life. For that, you can never understand the depth of my gratitude.”
