While on a dream vacation in Australia, Plewes and his wife were critically injured in an automobile accident. Stranded in a foreign country, in a trauma hospital 10,000 miles from home, things looked bleak — until MDRT members in Australia entered the scene and acted in the most caring, compassionate and unselfish ways to help navigate logistics, food, transportation and emotional support. Plewes shares his story as well as transferable life lessons that reinforce the power and value of being part of the MDRT community worldwide.
