Convinced She’s Write

Even weirder. . .

January 30th, 2003

Teen gets his head ripped off his body, dangling only by his spinal cord, and lives! That was weird enough, but in the newspaper account, it mentions him 1) hearing his friend screaming, and 2) summoning his pastor to the hospital before the surgery that saved him. How freaky to be conversing with a dangling head! And boy, you’d think that all of that would somehow be blocked out of your brain as some too-traumatic memory, or else just the trauma itself would send your body into such shock that you’d be knocked unconscious. Instead, the guy’s awake and interacting. Can you imagine the reaction of the medics who first got to the scene? That’d give me nightmares for the rest of my life!
