Boulder has been blessed to have many incredible health care specialists. Let’s start with Doc Philip Pallister, may he rest in peace. The Boulder community will not ever forget him. One example of his care for the community I like to share involves my father, who was in a mining accident. Pallister arrived in an ambulance, stabilized his back fracture and rode with the ambulance crew to Great Falls. My father had a thoracic spine fracture (T12) and Lumbar fractures at L4 and L5. Upon arrival at Great Falls he was told he would not walk again. But he was able to walk again, and I believe Pallister’s care was instrumental.
