INDIVIDUAL CASE:  CONSTANCE "BUC" A. WEBB
 
BUC WEBB: IS SHE TODAY'S HELEN KELLER BUT IN REVERSE?

In 1996, Buc Webb collapsed while playing a game of tennis with her husband.  She effectively died as she lay in his arms;  her eyes shuttering closed, her voice fading forever, succumbing to one of the worst brain aneurysms the UCLA surgeons had ever seen.  But thanks to a team of Santa Monica paramedics she survived, only to be cast into a system which seemed unprepared to help or see her through.  That was twelve years ago.  Today she is cared for by her 71 year old husband, the government (now Hawaii) providing little assistance or financial support.
