While the experience involved plenty of pain and continuing challenges, I was struck mostly by the quality of the care I received from the mountain all the way to my hospital discharge. The emergency personnel at the base were equally poised and skilled, as was the EMT in my ambulance to the Tahoe Forest Hospital ER. One couldn’t ask to be in better care, from the skilled doctors and surgeon to a fleet of nurses, medical assistants, physical therapists and other caregivers. I wouldn’t wish this injury on anyone, but if you’re going to break your leg skiing, it may as well be at Palisades. Words can’t do justice to the quality of care I received.
