I found the article “Feet in Smoke” to be very interesting
to read. I could already tell after
reading the first paragraph that this article was going to involve a tragedy in
some way. As I am studying nursing, I found this article particularly
interesting as it talked a lot about the how the human body works. After reading stories like this or hearing
about them, it is truly amazing how the human body works and even against all
odds it can have such resiliency. I also
found it quite remarkable that Worth was able to essentially make a full
recovery from what could have been such a devastating accident. It was also interesting to read about the
vision Worth right after the accident involving characters created by Mark
Twain which had to have some significance. I have heard of other stories where
people “die” and then come back to life and are able to recount strange visions
from that time. It makes you wonder
about the line between life and death and what truly happens if one crosses
over it.
The one
area of the article that was a little disturbing was the moment that Worth
writhed his body around with almost “nonexistent pupils.” This area of the
article was very vivid and it was unexpected. It makes you wonder about how the body works
and the inner brain functions which may have played a role in this occurring.
This is a link to the actual story that was featured on “Rescue
911” years ago. I just thought it was interesting because I remember watching this show when I was younger.
