Joseph Tanner said he had three thoughts amid a shark attack off the Oregon coast earlier this month. No way. This isn’t happening. I’m going to die. Gills have to be sensitive. Tanner, a 29-year-old critical care nurse at Portland’s Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, is more than two weeks removed from being attacked by a shark off Indian Beach at Ecola State Park. He was in the hospital for nine days, had three surgeries and was discharged last Wednesday/ Jim Ryan , Oregonian. More here.
