Jeremy is a commercial pilot, married with two young children under the age of five years. Jeremy suffered a compound fracture of his right forearm when he fell from a ladder while doing some light maintenance work around his home.

He broke both the radius and the ulna, requiring an operation. This was complicated by acute right forearm compartment syndrome which meant that he was left with mild nerve damage and muscle weakness. Rehabilitation and ongoing treatment still continue even though eight months have lapsed.

One of the bones has failed to fuse and bone graft surgery is scheduled in the next few weeks. Without insurance, it would have been very difficult for Jeremy’s family to cope.
