several years later, i heard that jerry was shot by three armed robbers. luckily, jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the hospital. finally jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body. about six months after the accident, i saw him. i asked him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.
“the first thing that went through my mind was that i should have locked the back door,” jerry replied. “then, as i lay on the floor, i remembered that i had two choices: i could choose to live, or i could choose to die. i choose to live.”
“weren’t you scared?”
jerry continued, “the doctors and nurses were great. they kept telling me i was going to be fine. but when they wheeled me into the emergency room and i saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, i got really scared. in their eyes, i read, ‘he’s a dead man.’ i knew i needed to take action.”
“what did you do?” i asked.
“well, there was a big, strong nurse shouting questions at me,” said jerry. “she asked if i was allergic to anything. ‘yes’, i replied. the doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. i took a deep breath and yelled, ‘bullets!’ over their laughter, i told them, ‘i am choosing to live. operate on me as if i am alive, not dead.’”
