Just talked to Doc a few minutes ago. He was here in Muddy Creek, working the race, and started getting bad shoulder pain. He went into the Asterisk Mobile Medical rig and got an EKG. After that it was an ambulance ride to Bristol hospital with a heart attack. He had a stent placed and will be there for three days before returning home. What was he most bummed about? That he didn't get to watch the race!

He says he's hanging out and has his laptop, so you can send him email or messages, and he'll see them here.

Get well soon, Doc!

I've never met the guy, but I'd like to shake his hand one day.
Bringing the medics to the show has been a great thing.

Get well Doc.

Wow...... if it was gonna happen you couldn't pick a much better place....... Meaning close to competent medical help as opposed to three o'clock in the morning in your bed.... Well wishes Doc.

Just goes to show you...... "Tomorrow is promised to no one".

Doc takes great care of everyone at the races, from riders to roving photographers. We'll have to survive without him for a while, but I'm guessing he'll be back ASAP.

Yup but now , He's got to start taking better care of himself too. I'm sure for all you guy's life on the road is a challenge to eat right and stay healthy.

Get back to San Diego soon and rest up Dr. B

If an ER doc has to go to the ER himself is he a pain in the ass to the staff who treats him? Cheerful

Get well soon, Dr. B!

You are the man, seriously. From your local practice in your community's ER, to year-after-year dedication on the weekends to this sport is simply astonishing.

Get well soon Doc

I had the Asterisk Gas card at Salt Lake City a few years ago.........Doc gave up a tour of the Asterisk rig...we were upstairs in the rig and I had to duck and I'm only 5' 9" and shrinking. I looked at Doc and he was standing tall.......gave him some real shit for being such a shortySmile

Getting it caught early before damage was done is what it sounds like. Glad he was where help was available. He will be good as new, maybe better, in a short time. Best wishes Doc.

it's years of living and having arteries that become closed with plaque, Cholesterol being a contributing factor.

lack of blood supplying oxygen to the heart muscle was the cause.
