    D.r John Hinds "A Flying Doc"

    [/URL]

    This is a photo of Dr. John Hinds taken by my friend Johnny Drummond at the Sherries Road race in Ireland 2013. I went to the Ulster Grand Prix road race in 2011 and I tried and tried to get a photo of this man, to give to my Doctor as an example of what lengths some doctors go to better serve their patients. I must have took 30 pictures and the best I did was a picture of a rear tire, so Johnny took this photo for me. He took it to the Doc and had him autograph it and another one. Dr John Hinds died today at the Skerries race in service to his "Road Racer" patients.

    Though I never met or shook his hand, I'll miss him now and in a few weeks when I'm at the Armoy race, the 25 of July. Rest in Peace

              Just happened across this presentation by Dr. John Hinds regarding race trauma. Learned a lot from this as well as what a great and funny guy he was.

                      Thanks for posting! I really enjoyed hearing him discuss what he did at the races.

                                      They are really great videos. It's interesting to notice the difference in audience response between the two.

                                          He was an amazing human being. Very much missed.
