[+1] - sozobe - 01/26/2005The guy's still critical. If he ends up dying after all this... 2 hours in a body bag!
[+1] - sozobe - 01/26/2005Plus of course they must've just flung that thing around, thinking there was a dead (not live but injured) body in it...
[+1] - littlek - 01/26/2005yowza! He could have died in that bag.
[+1] - Bella Dea - 01/26/2005Ok, this freaks me out. My hubby refuses to be an organ donor because he is terrified that they will take his organs before he is dead. I cannot let him see this or I will never convince...
[+1] - sozobe - 01/26/2005Not to mention that the examiner guy noticed he was breathing BEFORE he took the scalpel to him -- if the first cut was nice and deep... <thoroughly creeped out>

[+1] - littlek - 01/26/2005That's what I was thinking Soz! Brrr! So, we still check someone's pulse and breathing? Did we learn nothing from Romeo and Juliet? Seriously, a soft pulse is hard to find sometimes.

[+1] - WhoodaThunk - 01/26/2005Maybe they can hook him up with that funeral home down there that doesn't really bury their clients.

How could that happen???? Seriously, if someone has no pulse, no breathing, they are dead. But don't you attempt life saving? How could this guy just miraculously start living again? Someone f'ed up....

I wouldn't be so much concerned about the knife as I would about the saw they take to your breast plate......

Holy Crap!

Emergency medical technicians declared Green dead and placed him in a body bag for transport to the morgue.

What kind of whacked out state has EMTs declaring death. Even here, it takes a doctor or state highway patrolman - and nobody, I mean nobody, knows how the highway patrol got into the act.

I rarely badmouth NC ... we just had a knockdown icestorm ... no power for 5+ days ... crews from PA, MI, MD, & all around came to help ... but the crew that hooked up the power on my road was from ... Mayberry ... Mt. Airy, NC !!

Thelma Lou never looked better than she did up a pole hooking up e-lec-trizity. Very Happy

Our daughter heard about this from one of her teachers yesterday. We were talking about it and I mentioned how scarey it would be, especially since I had seen or heard something like this when I was around 10, which made me paranoid for years about going to sleep!

I said I was glad our technology today makes this a very rare incident.

She said her teacher said it actually happens pretty frequently.

Shocked

think I need to find some stats on that before bed tonight!
