Tragic story

A police detective name of Jeffery Hughes in Madison WI had bad CH and in Jan. '06 had the DBS implant, and it allowed him to stay on the force.  
 
Tuesday he crashed his car and is in critical condition. He has a wife and four kids. The cause of the crash is unknown.  
 
Here's the main story:
http://www.madison.com/wsj/home/local/index.php?ntid=258197
 
and a feature story done this June about the implant:

Tragic.  High-speed rollover, no seat belt.   Hoping the very best, no knowing what happened but he's fellow clusterhead.  Sad

Clue so far from story is:
 
Quote:
Hughes, who joined the Madison force in 2001, is being treated at UW Hospital...

 
Writer of both stories has e-mail and phone number in story.  Probably not today, but she may have info on hospital.

That could be the building.  An attention: line and his name could do it, but not positive.

Found the Milton Police Chief's e-mail addy.  Maybe we could send e-mail to him and ask if he could forward the messages to Jeff Hughes' family?

So sorry to hear this about one of our own.
 
Sending a little something to the hospital, along with all my best wishes to his family...thank you, Karla.  And thank you all.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Good find, Sean.
 
 
This is from the guest book:
 
 
Hello,I'm Jeff,a CH sufferer since 1991. In the midst of the pain, I'm only concerned about the short term control, but when the euphoria of remission strikes, I ponder the long term affects of a majority of the prophalactic measures. my grandfather suffered for 30 years and now suffers from coronary insufficiency. he associates it with long-term caforgot usage. when I Talk to the Doc about these concerns, I get the typical "deer in the headlights" look. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Great sight!
