“HUTCHINSON ISLAND \u2013 A Palm Beach County prosecutor cried for help and struggled in the water Sunday after getting attacked by a shark while surfing on Tiger Shores Beach.<\/p>\n

Adam McMichael, of Boynton Beach, suffered deep cuts on his right forearm by an unknown species of shark and was taken to Martin Memorial Medical Center in Stuart, witnesses said. . . . ”<\/p>\n

\"SharkR\"<\/em> update <\/em>(March 13, 2007): Good news from Sun-Sentinel.com, <\/em>“Beach County prosecutor grateful for rescuers at beach<\/a>” (March 12, 2007): “Doctors told him he would likely lose some of the nerves on the top of his right hand, but he should recover the full range of motion. ‘I’m very fortunate, and I owe it to all the guys who helped me,’ [Adam McMichael] said in a phone interview from his home in Boynton Beach. . . . As he paddled back toward the beach, which had no lifeguards, McMichael saw a wave of people responding to his calls for help. . . . ‘Everyone at the beach helped me out, McMichael said. ‘It was amazing. I question whether it would be like that anywhere else’.” [See Prof. Alan Childress’ tardy plunge into this topic here<\/a> at Legal Profession Blog<\/em>, March 17, 2007.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
