How Regional One saved a police sergeant's leg

from The AM/DM · host The Daily Memphian

More than a month ago, Marion police sergeant Darrell Prewitt became the victim of a high-speed collision on Interstate 40. The impact left his left leg hanging on by just a muscle. These days, however, he's back on two healthy legs, after being taken to the Regional Medical Center at Memphis and undergoing six surgeries. Today, health care reporter Steve Bohnel joins us to talk about this story. And, a warning, this podcast contains graphic descriptions of a limb-threatening injury, so it may not be for the most squeamish of listeners.  Plus: John Isner and Sam Querrey will play a special exhibition in Memphis Whitehaven YMCA's public pool opens with a promise of free swim lessons NAACP calls for a college boycott Only MSCS third-graders at risk of retention are to retake the TCAP exam on the last days of school
