Tad's Story and Medical Documentation, Car Crash 12/19/2007: Watch Tad's TV Video Interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTjq3h8kwnE&feature=channe I had gone to see Philip Savage several times in the past four years. In April 2007, I went to ask for help revitalizing my “stuck” 36-year-old life in crisis. And that’s exactly what I got. Within a month, I had moved out of my parents’ house in Washington, into my own house in California, got a great job in a new career, found a woman to love, and started public speaking. Just what I wanted… and more. Although I didn’t know it yet, I also got Philip’s full protection in any accident. Eight months later, on December 19, 2007, I was driving through an intersection when a big Jeep SUV ran a red light and smashed into my little Nissan. According to the police report, the speeding SUV slammed into my driver’s side door and front fender, flattening the wheel to the ground, crushing the engine compartment, punching the door into me and slamming the side window into my head and left temple at up to 40 mph. The window shattered on impact, but not before breaking my neck. My car spun across the intersection and sheared off a light pole, crushing my car from the other side and pinning me inside. The firefighters had to cut me out of the car with the “jaws of life.” The police officer on the scene said he was surprised I wasn’t “mashed potatoes” or worse. Not only did I not die, I didn’t even lose consciousness. My body was in one piece, still alive, a broken neck and a lacerated left eye from where my glasses had embedded in the flesh and bone, but not much else seemed to be wrong. Being awake, alert, and calm, I gave specific instruction to the first person on the scene: “Call (this number), give them my name and tell them what you see.” So within minutes of the accident, Philip’s team was notified and he responded, “I will take care of him right away.” At the time, Philip was on the other side of the planet in Europe! When I arrived at UCLA – Santa Monica Hospital, I was bombarded with x-rays, CT and MRI scans. Those ER records and doctors’ reports document some of the most unusual medical results ever seen: In a near, if not, fatal crash, instead of being killed or at least paralyzed with massive brain damage, I walked out of the hospital the next day, and only lost 2 days of work despite being diagnosed with a broken neck with clean 3 millimeter displacement between pieces of the C2 vertebrae. No concussion and no other major damage either. The nurses and EMTs were dumbfounded that I refused pain meds. In fact, from the scene of the accident through final release I did decline medication every time they offered it, specifically because I didn’t need it. A broken neck, stitches in the hand and eyebrow and severely swollen brow and there was no pain!!! The neurosurgeon said, “You have the same break as Christopher Reeve....” He said the only difference between Reeve and me was that my tendons held! Reeve’s tendons gave out -- then, since there were no tendons to hold his bone fragments in place, the bone exploded, severing his nerves. Reeve, “Superman”, the body builder and expert horseman was in a coma for weeks, had to have bolts to hold his head on, and was quadriplegic for the remainder of his life. My tendons held, despite having a thin neck and certainly being no bodybuilder or expert athlete. In a follow-up visit, the neurosurgeon also told me, “Nobody comes out of an accident like that without multiple facial fractures, skull fractures, torn tendons, brain bleeding (if not permanent brain damage), and chest cavity injuries.” He was pleased to report that I had none of the above. He was also very surprised that I didn’t need my neck collar at that first appointment. It’s certain that it wasn’t my pencil-thin neck that protected me from the same kind of fate that destroyed Reeve. Only Philip could have done this for me… and I thankfully knew it. In fact, I knew it as soon as I saw the SUV coming. There was NO fear. From point of impact, broken neck and spinning, I never lost consciousness, and was actually feeling Philip’s presence through the whole experience. By the time the ambulance reached the hospital, accelerated healing had already kicked in. During the 18 hours in the hospital (so long because they wouldn’t let me out no matter how much I asked), I went myself to the bathroom (rather than use the bedpan as nurses insisted) and I demanded to be fed. When they didn’t feed me, I walked out to the nurse station and repeated my request for food and didn’t leave until they promised to feed me. I was out of the neck brace, except for sleeping, within a couple of days. Full range of motion without pain was restored in the space of about 25 days. I was back to work in a week and went to the ophthalmologist with my lacerated cornea for recommended treatment, only to find out that within five days the cornea had healed over so completely that not the slightest scar tissue remained. Twice I had to correct the ophthalmologist when he insisted on writing his report on the wrong eye! There has been no physical therapy on my neck; the only “professional” attention it received was the neck brace applied at the hospital, lots of X-rays, MRIs and CT scans and a few follow-up visits with the neurosurgeon and orthopedist to document recovery. When I went back to see Philip in March 2008 to thank him and receive final processing for this accident, I found out when I returned home that I don’t even need to wear glasses anymore! I also found out that anyone who goes to see Philip as I did in 2007, receives the same “accidental death” protection that I got, regardless of the circumstances: Car/plane/motor- cycle accident, criminal assault/rape, dangerous stunts, drug overdose, terrorist bombing/fire burns, heart attack or stroke. And, this includes their children -- offspring of Philip’s active consultants get the same protection in any accident. These are the people that have “good credit” with Philip Savage. Fortunately, I’m still one of them. TAD Dodge, July 18, 2008, 818-569-9071 |
