It only took a minute for Chuck McMullens’ pain to go from annoying to catastrophic.
The Newark resident was sitting July 6 on his front porch, when he felt a pain in his lower abdomen, “like maybe I had to use the restroom,” he said.
When he stood up to go inside, though, he collapsed. He had lost feeling in his legs and the pain intensified.
“It felt like an octopus was grabbing and squeezing my stomach,” he said.
On the verge of passing out, McMullens managed to dial 911. He could hear the squad coming up his driveway as he drifted in and out of consciousness.
