My brother, Corey, is 16. Scary age - considering that he is driving, along with all of his friends. About two weeks ago, he was a passenger with his friend who got into a wreck. A 4 car wreck that was pretty bad. Corey has a bad back that he hurt playing football and had back surgery last year, well, his back has been hurting him alot since the last wreck.
Yesterday he was on his way HOME from getting an MRI to send up to Atlanta to his back surgeon to make sure everything was still okay, and that his back hasn't gotten hurt again. That is when he got into another wreck. This one was all his fault, he rear-ended a car pretty badly. Damn Cell Phones! He said he was reaching to get it, and the car made a quick turn (or tried to), and he hit them pretty hard. Car is totalled.
He was really upset, and crying really hard. He was strapped to one of those wooden back braces, and his neck was in a brace. They still hadn't gotten him out of the brace when I left the hospital two hours later. I can't believe how long it took to get someone into the computer or into the "system" so that they could do X-Rays and things like that. I'm actually pretty scared that if anything bad ever happened to us, we would surely die in our emergency room. Scary!
