As Dolly Parton tells it, her first-ever car accident in October 2013 was minor, but left her bruised and sore enough to seek medical advice at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Even when the physician's phone rang and the name that came up was "Dolly Parton," he remained skeptical of his stoic father's claim of having the famous friend. "He's not the type of guy who hangs out with the Dolly Partons of the world." "That's when I thought, 'Well, okay, he actually DOES know Dolly,'" Jad recalled. Now a firm believer in his father's friendship with Parton, Jad Abumrad said he's probably not the only one thankful for the "weird luck" that brought them together years ago.
