Larry Green stepped out of the darkness so suddenly that the car that hit him didn’t even leave skid marks. The impact sent his shoes, socks and the unopened beer in his hand flying.
Green came to rest on U. S. 401 alongside a trash-strewn ditch, where he was examined by paramedics and declared dead. Over the next 2 hours, the bloody body with a gaping head wound was zipped into a black vinyl bag, taken to the morgue and slid into a stainless -steel refrigerated drawer. There was just one problem: Green was alive. Two weeks after that shocking discovery, the 29-year-old Green clings to life in a hospital intensive care unit, paralyzed. No pulse or signs of breathing. Anguished family members have listened in horror as officials described the many missed signs and miscues that led to the error. They and others in this rural tobacco community northeast of Raleigh are left to wonder how something like this could have happened-and whether it has happened before. "Something ain’t right with that," said T.J. Henderson, a high school classmate of Green’s. "I thought they were supposed to try to give mouth to mouth or the shock at least till they got to the emergency room. That’s where I thought you were pronounced dead ’at, not on the scene .... Not on the street."
On the chilly night of Jan. 24, Green and a pair of friends showed up at the Ingleside Grocery about 8:45 p.m. to pick up a few tall-boy cans of Natural Ice to take back to his trailer down the road. Green never made it. According to reports from state troopers and the Franklin County attorney’s office, 36-year-old Tamuel Jackson did not have time to stop her car before it slammed into Green as he tried to cross the highway in front of his trailer.
Randy Kearney, an off-duty paramedic, was on the scene at 8:54 p.m. and found no pulse or sign of breathing. Blood had formed a foot-wide corona around Green’s skull. When county paramedics Paul Kilmer and Katherine Lamell arrived moments later, Kearney told them Green was dead, but asked Kilmer to double-check. Kilmer replied that his determination was "good enough for me," according to Kearney and two firefighters. Kilmer told officials he could not remember saying that, but doesn’t deny it.
By the time paramedic Pamela Hayes arrived at 9 p. m. , Green was covered by a white sheet. [br] The topic for the passage might be _________.
