After spinningaround a few times, Betty’s car came to a stop facing thewrong way down the wrong side of the street.“The first thing I remember was thinkingthe car was on fire and that I needed to getout. I learned later it was a burn from theairbag,” says Betty.“I also remember turning off the car,unlocking it and asking a man who hadstopped to help me to get the seat beltoff because it was hurting my stomach.”Respiratory Therapist Dan Travis, RRT10 | MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM 2007 ANNUAL REPORT
