I have to admit that I have not watched this season, but I had one of the coolest things happen last Friday! Casey James, one of the top 3 finalists came to the hospital where I work to "pay it forward" and visit the doctor and staff that saved his life 6 years ago.
Casey was in a bad motorcycle accident in 2004 and was treated at my hospital, Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth. I got a call from the American Idol producer last Friday saying that Casey wanted to come and visit the hospital during his hometown visit and see the doctor and staff who saved his life.
I had the privilege of coordinating his visit and the segment is scheduled to be aired on Wednesday night on American Idol. Tune in if you can - Texas Health Fort Worth will be featured!
This day goes down as one of the biggest highlights in my career. The event was like coordinating a movie premier and the rush and excitement that came with this event is part of why I love what I do.
Check out the pictures below...

This was the first glimpse fans had of him!
Hello Casey! This was me greeting him at the car!
