Never let truth get in the way of a good story? And you have to admit it is such a good story - snatched from the jaws of death after being aggressively "zapped" 33 times with radiation. Is it just me or does that invoke an image of a group of radiation technicians surrounding the poor bugger and poking him with cattle prods?
When I first saw the excerpt Charm, I thought you had picked it up from some a wannabe journalist blog somewhere. But no, even better, A Sports Illustrated article! On the OCF newsfeed no less! Oh well, we all have to have a laugh sometimes. The picture of the sportsperson is very nice though.
I'm guessing they don't have a medical writer on staff ...? Or even a tuck shop lady with first aid experience.
