Jeremy Renner is out doing some promotion for his Disney+ series, Rennervations. I’m not trying to make light of anything, but this is the most incredible promo tour one could imagine for this show. The series is about Jeremy and his business partner Rory converting some of his fleet of salvaged heavy equipment vehicles into various multipurpose mobile units to meet the needs of organizations. It’s inspirational and uplifting and very Disney. As we know, Jeremy was run over by a snowplow while saving his nephew from a similar fate. The resulting injuries almost killed him but three months later, Jeremy was able to walk the red carpet for his show. It’s all very inspirational and Disney, only it’s real. I can’t believe it. I can believe this story, though, because I know how important it is. Jeremy took time out of his schedule to visit the people who saved his life. He paid a visit to the staff of Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno, Nevada and posted it to thank them for what they did for him.

Jeremy Renner returned to the hospital that cared for him following the snowplow accident that put his life in danger.

The Hawkeye actor shared on Instagram Stories a series of photos with the medical staff at Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno, Nevada.

“I got to revisit the amazing group of people who saved my life,” he captioned the picture where he posed alongside the medical workers ending the message with praying hands and heart emojis.

Years ago, we talked about what the medical staff meant to us if we’d ever had an experience with an Intensive Care Unit. I told you all I was related to the person in the ICU and we were sure they were going to die. That staff becomes family, you never forget them. Going back to visit them, like Jeremy did, is important for everyone. It’s important for the patient because they literally saved their life. It’s important for the hospital because it raises awareness of their facilities and helps with fundraising. And I assume it’s important to the staff because often the patient leaves and they don’t know what happened next. I would think they get emotionally invested in these folks. Of course, Jeremy is a high-profile case, and they can watch him walking around on camera. He’s also been thanking the hospital and staff in his appearances. But this in person visit was for him. I’m glad he made the time to do it.

I watched the Reno episode of Rennervations. I chose that one because it had Anthony Mackie on it, and I’ll watch just about anything with Mackie in it. The show is sweet. I appreciate what Renner is doing, from recycling the equipment to repurposing them for worthy causes. I really like his partner Rory who is a big teddy bear of a guy. It’s weird to watch now, knowing what we do about the accident after the filming. I kept yelling at the screen for Jeremy to get away from the truck yard. It’s not a particularly dynamic show, but it’s comforting and if you need something feel-good to watch, it’s a safe bet.

Lastly, I missed this when Jeremy spoke about it last week. Apparently Paul Rudd sent Jeremy a fake cameo during his recovery to cheer him up and it’s one of the funnier things I’ve seen in a while.
