While riding my first motorcycle when I was 17 a veterinarian pulled out in front of me, blocking my right of way. I could not stop in time and hit him broadside, breaking my leg in a compound fracture and totaling the motorcycle.

The emergency room doctor who initially treated me before sending me to another hospital was involved in a minibike accident not quite a year later. Though he was going rather slowly (how fast can you travel on an 1970's 80cc minibike, really), he died as a result of his injuries.

As it turns out, the emergency room doctor was himself an organ donor. The way I see it, after all those years of cracking organ donor jokes, instant karma got him. Thirty years later, I'm still riding . . .
