From paramedic to trauma patient

“Straight up magic!” is how Jerrad Kelly explained what he experienced after abruptly going from paramedic to trauma patient last April. Jerrad was thrown off his motorcycle at full speed on a foggy morning on his way to work. After landing on a concrete round-about, the next thing he remembered was his Warrensburg EMS team from Johnson County Ambulance District surrounding him doing what they do, and transporting him to Research Medical Center.

Jerrad shares that the remains of his mangled full-face helmet are a reminder the accident could have taken his life.

After 25 days in Research’s Neuroscience Institute and Rehabilitation Center, Jerrad went back to work last summer.

Jerrad visited Research Medical Center this week to share his story and thank his care team, including his JCAD first responders and trauma surgeon Dr. Simpson.

I could name off many of those spokes, present the arguments, persuade with reasoning laced with factual evidence but in my estimation, individually they all fall short and collectively, even though they…
