Jan Oldenburg, FHIMSS with Kay
Introduction
Kay is an artist who lives and works in Boise where she teaches and collaborates other artists. Early in 2014, she was in Arizona with friends, going on a rock-hunting expedition on a two-lane road. Kay was driving her car with her dog and a friend riding along, following friends in another car. A pickup coming from the other direction veered into Kay’s car, hitting it near the driver’s side window, smashing the whole left side of the car and knocking the rear wheel out. Kay’s car spun around while the car that had hit her veered back across the road and landed in the ditch on the other side.
Her friends in the car ahead saw the accident in their rearview mirror. They came back to help and called paramedics. Kay’s friends got her and her passenger out of Kay’s car, then checked on the driver who had hit them. He was unconscious when they got to the car but began rousing as they talked to him. He said that something bad had happened two days before and that he had been feeling dizzy and had fainted a couple times since, and had a pounding headache.
The paramedics came, told Kay and her passenger to go to the hospital when they refused a ride in the ambulance, and took the other driver in the ambulance. Kay’s friends took her and her passenger to the hospital and took the dog to an emergency vet. At the hospital Kay had x-rays and the doctors checked out her body. Her whole left side was sore, and the diagnosis was “contusions.” The doctor mentioned that he’d treated the driver of the pickup before seeing Kay. He said that the pickup’s driver told him “something” had happened two days before and he’d had a headache, fainting, and dizziness since. The doctor also said the other driver had been moved to a hospital in Phoenix.
