Golfing Surgeon Talks Harrison Ford Rescue: "He Was Moaning and in Pain"
A spinal surgeon who helped rescue Harrison Ford after the actor's plane crash on an L.A. golf course yesterday afternoon described the experience to ABC News. "He was stunned a bit," Sanjay Khurana said. "He was moaning and in pain."
Khurana said he immediately ran to the downed plane, where other golfers were already working to extract Ford. Once Ford was free from the wreckage, Khurana said he helped stabilize him, and checked his blood pressure and airway.
"You don't go golfing expecting to see an airplane crash and to help extract someone and realize it's someone you know from the movies, right" he said. "It's fairly bizarre. But as a surgeon, I've been practicing for almost over a decade now, you deal with urgent situations. So you have to do your best for someone in distress."
"It was obvious by his face, it was Harrison Ford," he added. "I'm old enough, or young enough, to have watched all his Star Wars films. So, it was obvious."
Ford was hospitalized in "fair to moderate" condition, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department, and is expected to make a full recovery.
