About this user

On May 10, 2009, Scott was injured in an off-road dirt bike accident that damaged his spinal cord and left him temporarily paralyzed from the neck down. What started as a day of fun in the hills south of Henderson Executive Airport turned into a near-fatal chain of events.

Scott crested what he thought was a rise only to discover it dropped off completely into a concrete flood drainage culvert. His forward momentum sent him over the handlebars and onto his head and neck, with his 250 lbs. compressing him into his helmet and causing the motorcycle to end up on his back.

A friend riding with him, Cort Smith, witnessed the accident. He spent the next 50 minutes fighting desperately with the 911 operator to direct Henderson police and Henderson fire and rescue services to the unmarked area accessible only to off-road capable vehicles. Cort also tried unsuccessfully to get a LifeFlight helicopter dispatched.

Scott realized immediately upon impact he was paralyzed and in trouble. He told Cort he thought he had broken his neck. After 30 minutes had passed with no medical services on-site, Scott's breathing become increasingly difficult as his diaphragm began to fail. Believing he was dying, Scott asked Cort to get his family on the phone and he told his two teenage children and their mother goodbye.

After losing consciousness and nearly an hour after the accident, the LifeFlight helicopter finally reached the scene. Scott was taken by helicopter from the scene to UMC Trauma Center where he was determined to have suffered a central core contusion of the cervical spine, torn anterior cervical ligaments, a herniated disc between C3-C4, a broken nose and dislocated left shoulder. He spent nine days in the ICU and underwent a five-hour surgery to repair his neck, which included fusing the C3 and C4 vertebrae.

On May 20, he was transferred to Desert Canyon Rehabilitation Hospital (DCRH) where he remains until he rehabilitates enough to safely continue his recovery at home. The quality of care and intensive therapy he is receiving at DCRH is exceptional. The medical director and staff believe his progress is nothing short of phenomenal, but also acknowledge it will be months, if not more than a year, before he regains most or all of his original abilities.

The costs for Scott's medical treatment and rehabilitation will be substantial. Less than two months after the accident, the bills already have topped a quarter-million dollars. Insurance will make a big dent in the total cost of his full recovery and rehabilitation, however Scott will be left with bills amounting to tens of thousands of dollars, and ongoing rehab will cost thousands per month.

Friends and family of Scott have created the HealScottFrost.org website to facilitate donations of money and in-kind services to help Scott recover financially. Several donation methods are provided on this page.

Scott also has asked his friends to help him create a foundation based in Southern Nevada that provides services regionally to spinal cord injury patients and their families. More information about this effort will be published as it develops.

Scott was discharged on July 27, 2009 from Desert Canyon Rehabilitation Hospital and spent the first night in his own bed. He is continuing his recovery and rehab at home with the help of skilled nursing, therapists, volunteers, family and friends.
