Survivor Joe Norton Meets His Rescuers

On June 26th Mr. Joe Norton fell and broke his femur while riding his bike at the corner of Dean Keaton and Red River streets. ATCEMS Medics from Medic 13 ( Clinical Specialists M. Mason & H. Holt) responded to the call and transported Mr. Horton to Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas.

On Sunday, August 4th, Mr. Norton rode his bike on the street for the first time since the accident!

"Please send my thanks and regards to the EMS guys who helped me on June 26th! They were both very helpful to me when I was pretty much helpless and I am really grateful that they were there for me." - Mr. Joe Norton

Mr. Norton sent us this video (click on his image right) that his wife took, and some Garmin stats from his first ride on the street and another recent indoor ride. He also got to meet Medics Mason and Holt in person on Wednesday, Aug. 21st. Mr. Norton brought his wife and young grandson who had a lot of fun with the lights and sirens!
