ATTENTION ! ATTENTION ! Legendary slide trombonist, Phil Ranelin, is alive and recuperating from a major operation as a result of a severe traffic accident caused by an 18-year old drunk driver who ran a red light and broadsided Ranelin???s Honda accord on 3rd Street and Normandie as Ranelin was on his way home from sitting in with Obie Jessie at Cabrini???s Jazz Alley in Los Angeles during the Thanksgiving Weekend. The successful 5-hour operation took place Friday, December 1, 2005 at Noon, after orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Emmanuel, pieced together Ranelin???s knee and lower right leg which were fractured and broken in several places. He is expected to recover fully after three months of convalescence with advanced orthopedic technology which allowed Dr. Emmanuel to salvage and rebuild Ranelin???s entire leg.

Ranelin hopes that he and his bones will be back on the Jazz scene in a few months.

    why is it everytime I hear about an accident in the states, one party always has no insurance? How stringent is the enforcement of mandatory insurance?



    it rarely happens in canaduh. Back when I was a wee lad, my friend got booked for driving w/o insurance, he had to pay a $3000 plus fine. Considering we were still in hs, that was rough, obviously the system works.

    Not very good. If you live near NYC, you constantly hear stories about some guy running over a dozen people in the Brinx who's had his license suspended 25 times. They need to start putting these fuckers in jail.

    Damn! I hope he gets well soon. I'd like to donate, but can't send money orders, anyone want to investigate if there's a possibility to use Paypal?

    I can't understand how it is possible to get hit by a car and have to pay your own medical bills! The American system is
