Stanley Philips

Stanley Philips was the father of former Doctor and NOL player, Dr Quinton Philips. Stan was a retired Military Marine who served for the SR Corps. He was a First Class Lieutenant before he retired after a training accident left him unable to run.

Young Life
Stan's father was also in the military and his dad was a commander in the Army Corps. Stan decided it was his time to shine and by the time he was 18 he signed up for the Marine Corps. Stan received his first rank up from Private to Lieutenant at the age of 20.

Marine Injury
"We call him, Stamina, he may not be the fastest man in the Corps, but he can run for his life. He is one of the few we trust not to die on duty or on deck that is." said the Commander to a Pilot. Stanley one day was doing a training course with his training mates. Jumping over the wall when he landed the wrong way and he popped out his hip. "Ah!" a scream from Stan was heard across the training bay. Stan was screaming in agony until help came.

Camping Nightmare
Quinton was with his mum and dad on the rod, they were having a weekend get away. Quinton's mum named Samantha and his dad named Stan. Stan then said "Quinton, do you have anything to say to us?" Quinton looked down and said "I failed you guys, I know I should have never resulted to drinking and then punching the dude in the face. But all I want to do is to go camping." "Son I'm disappointed at what you did. And doing that is something we can never talk about again." "Then why are we talking about?" "So we can get it out in the open! Quinton you were a doctor, played for your country and state and why do you think you are one of the most influential people in our state?" "I don't know ma! Because I helped all those people.." "Yeah you did but what else have you done. You managed to get a girl back her life, made a mother bring in a stupid foundation for ants! and managed to give lives and entertainment to those who needed it." As they came up to the spot they camped at the most. When Quinton hoped out he noticed a tree branch dangling from a height. He looked down and said, 'Careful there's a hanging branch there one hit and your dead." "I know son, that's why we won't camp in this spot we'll move 5 metres that way." his dad pointing to the well. As Quinton lifted his bag out of the car the branch from the tree fell and struck him on his legs. He was pinned by the branch. Quinton yelled out "Dad! Get help!" Stan turned around and saw Quinton's legs bleeding and Quinton shaking from pain. "Jesus Christ!. Quinton!" "Ring for help dad!"

Injury (2)
As Quinton was taken into surgery staff from the high school were there waiting for him to come out of surgery. Trish walked out of the operating room and saw the staff. "Trish? How is he doing?" "Incomplete injury to the C4 and 5. Broken legs and cuts everywhere, he was a mess. He lost consciousness whilst in the ambo bay. He's on a ventilator. And what he looks like isn't good." Kari then said "He taught PE for so long, wouldn't you think that he wouldn't have parked under a tree with falling branches?" "Kari, the tree was 10 metres away from the car. He was in the wrong place, it wasn't his fault. It was just bad timing." "How long did it take for help to arrive." "He was with his parents for 2 hours. He asked his mother to push against his feet so he could feel his legs." "Did/ can he feel his legs?" "His left one has nerve damage his right one is broken in 3 places. Surgeons are still working on his neck." "So this could be the end of Quinton's career. A tree branch has ended his career.." "Believe Kari.. It's not the end of the world.." said Roy. "He will do what is right to get back into his career." "His career has gone to shit ever since his controversial walk out, why should we help him?" "Because he's still our friend Phil.. We still have hope.." The neck surgeon who worked on Quinton came out and said "He's gonna need you all." they all turned around and looked. "His C4 wasn't fractured only his C5, which means he will regain his strength over time. But his legs are another story.. Nerve damage from his left knee down, they've repaired the nerve, from the broken bones. His right leg only had deep cuts. We've repaired the cuts. And he should be good." "What about his condition?" "He is still critical. Neck injuries can cut off air to the lungs, but he was lucky. If it was a centimeter lower, he would be dead." "No cord injury?" "None. He is a lucky man. Trish walk with me. See you all later." Trish then said "What's this about Ryan." "His condition is on and off. Whatever we do, his life is in the balance, no joke." "What so he's?" "Both critical and stable.. Its a balancing act." "Shit.." "Don't say anything. Surgery is done and they can go and see him if they want to. His family where are they?" "They were told to go home. They just had shock they were fine. Quinton told me once his family weren't to get involved." "But his colleagues are fine with this?" "Whatever they do, they're a strong bunch of people." Trish then said "I'll take them to see him." Trish walked away and back to the staff. "Can we see him?" "You can but I have to advise you that what you will see is gonna be a shock.. You've never seen him like this. There are tubes and bandages everywhere." Trish walked the staff to Quinton's room. Trish opened the door. Kari and John were the first in. "Oh my god.." Kari had to look away, as tubes were coming out his arms, his leg and chest. John looked down and said "How long has he been on the ventilator." "Since he lost consciousness in the ambo bay, 5 hours ago." said Trish. Roy then said "Our strongest man has been decimated by a tree. But he will be better then ever when he returns." Roy then placed a card next to his phone and said "Get well soon Quinno." Trish then said "I need you to know if he does want to return to work.. If he does.. Make sure he gets a desk job.." "We can do that."
