A man who returned home from the hospital Tuesday said he feels like he has a second chance at life after paramedics pronounced him dead.
Thomas Maxwell spent nearly a week in the intensive care unit after suffering from cardiac arrest last Wednesday.
"I said, ‘No, he’s not. He’s not dead,’" Phebe Maxwell explained. "I said, ‘He’s making noises.’ He said, ‘Well ma’am, that’s the body emptying itself of gases.’ I’m screaming. It took my mom and my friend about 15 minutes to get me off of my dad yelling to God and to everyone, and I’m still saying, ‘He’s not dead."
"What’s a life worth, nothing? What would they do if it was their mother or something," Thomas Maxwell asked.
