Update on George- breathing tube and lung tube (for puncture) removed this AM. George is making eye contact, smiling, gave a thumbs up and was able to understand the complex medical language the Dr was explaining (George is an MD). Truly a miracle.

I hope he recovers all the way. It sounds like he was very seriously injured.

Get well George, from a colleague both in profession and love of Early 911s. ET and Chest Tube out nice and quick, these first few days are often very telling ! I wish you a speedy recovery and successful rehabilitation !

As MDs in the Early 911 community, we take risks with these cars that we are painfully aware of. Risks not due to skill level or driving style, but simply due to the known safety measures that these cars are lacking. These are very conscious risks and for the love of the unique moments and pleasures that compel us, it is no different than flying private planes, riding a motorcycle, or sailing offshore.

If ever you read this George, do not blame yourself for wanting to live a little, do not blame yourself for your decision to drive an early 911, and do not think you should have known better. Living is like loving, and as per Lord Tennyson, the only thing worst than love lost, is never having loved at all. You decided to live a little. I wish you a FULL recovery.

What a wonderful note, Frederic. FWIW, my stepfather taught at McGill for a spell-lovely place.

Well said and a good reminder to us all by someone who knows of what he speaks.

Excellent sentiments, advice, and graciously stated, Dr. Dankoff.

Life without risk is shallow.

It's a natural reaction to blame oneself for any accident, especially among men who are highly competent in general. I have a close friend going through this right now after a freak accident that burned his hands at home when a gel candle broke.

Things just happen in this life, particularly while taking risks that come along with most fun activities. If George reads nothing else, I hope that he sees Frederic's message.

Well said, Frederic!!!

The nature of this accident has reminded me how tenuous good health can be, made more so by the unknown, unseen and mostly (but seemingly not in this case), other humans we (supposedly) share the road.

Be careful out there this long weekend (in the US), do something nice for your P-car and have a bit of fun when appropriate.

Beatifully put Dr. Dancoff. I do too remember all the beautiful times I had driving all my Porsches in all kinds of locations in all kind of marginal conditions. And the same goes for my skiing, scuba diving and windsurfing. So, George, no reason to blame yourself, and I wish you the best for your recovery!

Hope it is not inappropriate to post this now - if so I will pull it.
But here's to you George.
No regrets.
