The Huffington Post - Paul Rieckhoff : My 9/11 Story

In the article My 9/11 Story written by Paul Rieckhoff, a doctor was left with a decision unbareable to make, that was made. Life is about risk takings and making decisions, not knowing if it was the right or wrong one. I believe that the doctor made the correct desicion. The reason being is because as Mr. Rieckhoff said that he wanted to get at least part of her body out so that the family can see her. It was either go look for other or get her out one time before a fire started. Their only option was to get part of her out, so they cut her in half from parts of her spine. Last year on Novemeber 8th, I went to go visit a close friend of mine Jamal, to get some more lessons on Dj'ing. Later on in the evening, we went across the street to hang out. Being cognizant of the fact that I had to be home before 10, I was in a position where I had the choice of getting "high" or not. I decided not to smoke because I didn't want to go home smelling like weed, so I left around the time 9:30 pm. An hour later, Shontelle, Jamals older sister called me. "Jamal just got shot in the face." My heart was racing time itself. Didn't know how to react, but the first thing I did was run and put back on my clothes and made some calls. Honestly speaking, if I were to have smoked back then, I would've not be here today. Seeing Jamal as my older brother, I would've taking that bullet for him. In conclusion, the doctor made the right decision to cut her body so the woman's family had the chance to see her.
