I was disabled 6-22-07, I was hit by a deer on my motorcycle traveling at about 60 mph. I did not hit the deer. It ran into my left side and broke my left leg about 3 inches above the ankle, both bones, causing me to fall at about 50 mph. I tumbled and hit my head, not wearing a helmet causing a traumatic brain injury, a TBI. Airlifted to North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale Minnesota from a hospital in Shell Lake Wisconsin, close to wear I got hurt, who couldn’t do anything for me. From the TBI I had a series of strokes. I still now can not walk, use my right hand or talk well. My point here is; there is NO helmet law here, Wisconsin, where I got hurt, and Minnesota where I live and if there was and I had a helmet on I would probably not have had this TBI for a helmet would have protected my head. I would like to see a helmet law in ALL the 50 states. I owned and was driving a 2000 Indian Chief and it was totaled out.

To William R. Lundberg, M.D.
You are the guy who worked on my broken leg. You put a rod in my leg and I found out later that it was an inch too long and protruded into my ankle so it caused severe pain so I couldn't walk.
My wife brought me back to you but you said get used to it. So I then went to another doctor and he had to replace the rod you put in and had to FUSE my ankle joint because you were incompetent. Thanks for nothing you INCOMPETENT excuse for an Orthopedic Surgeon.
