An appreciation of compassionate medical care is just one of the lessons learned following a bicycle accident in France.

Shelter Veterinarian Dr. Anna Sarfaty, DVM and Registered Veterinary Technician Naya Garcia perform an intake exam for a stray dog at Pasadena Humane. The staff and volunteers at Pasadena Humane are dedicated to providing compassion and tender loving care for sick, injured, orphaned, abused, neglected, and abandoned animals in our community. Dear readers, please excuse my absence over the past few weeks.

After our visit, we were almost back to the train station when the road suddenly narrowed to a single lane. Finding myself headed the wrong way down a one-way street with a car approaching head-on, I decided to try to go over the curb to my right. They didn’t speak much English, and the nurse didn’t understand the word “pain.” Using my rusty French, I asked for a pillow. There were none. When I said I was hungry and thirsty, I was told I missed breakfast. Where was I…Dante’s circles of hell?

So, even though I could barely move, I was kicked to the curb. We checked into a hotel in Paris where my condition declined. After two days, Pierce took me to the emergency room at the American Hospital of Paris. More comprehensive X-rays revealed that I had eight broken ribs, rather than three. And, each rib was broken twice — into three pieces. No wonder I had been in so much discomfort!
