Great read about the guy who was part of the medical team that saved JayBo's life.

The medical team on hand in Anaheim last February -- with similar ones present at every NHL rink, for every game -- goes through yearly drills and dozens of hours of training on emergency response to prepare for such events, even if they are rare. For Ducks assistant athletic trainer Chad Walker, being part of that support system is extremely personal.

His remarkable story begins on Jan. 21, 2011.

"A collective team effort like that," Walker says. "Is what kept my wife alive."

For Becca and Chad Walker, a traumatic life experience provided a profound appreciation for collaborations that occur every day in acute medical treatment.

We went to go see these guys today. Amazing work by the artist. Some were sculpted on precarious ledges. What made it extra special was its pissed rain here for the past 24 hours and the paths/trails were super muddy and we saw so many people slip thanks to inappropriate footwear lol (maybe that part doesnt belong in this thread ... oh well ... fuck it ... which way to hell ? lol)
