This January as he climbed up a ladder to take down the Christmas lights and decorations he has displayed at his home each season for the past 25 years, PAMF Los Altos Center family medicine physician William Straw, M.D., lost his balance and plunged head first off of his roof and onto his front yard.
"Fortunately, I didn't lose consciousness. However, I quickly realized that my face was bleeding, something was wrong with my right eye, and I had severe pain in my lower chest and upper back, said Dr. Straw. No one was home, and we live on a quiet cul-de-sac, but I did have my cell phone in my pants pocket!"
