A life hangs in balance - Part 1 of 3 Oct 2, 2003
by Scott Fowler, Charlotte Observer
For most of 17 seconds, Adam Quilty looks like a star. He has never been much of an athlete. But this slice of videotape displays Adam's most glorious athletic moment -- a darting sprint past three defenders in a lacrosse game for Charlotte's Vance High. Then the videotape shows a lot more. Too much more, really. It scares everyone who sees it. Adam is 17 years old when those momentous 17 seconds begin. He is racing toward the goal. When they end, Adam has collapsed to the ground. Untouched. His heart has stopped.

Doctors seek the cause of the mysterious collapse - Part 2 of 3 Oct 2, 2003
by Scott Fowler, Charlotte Observer
When paramedic Ryan Jones lowers the defibrillator paddles to Adam Quilty's chest for the third time, the 17-year-old Charlotte Vance High lacrosse player has been without a pulse for 19 minutes. There's a doctor on the scene -- Chuck Frederick. By chance, he had been refereeing this lacrosse game in Greensboro when Adam collapsed and his heart stopped. Frederick, an anesthesiologist, caught up to Adam seven seconds after the fall. Soon afterward, the doctor and a certified athletic trainer at the game had begun cardiopulmonary resuscitation, trying to save Adam's life. The CPR has helped. Adam isn't dead. But Dr. Frederick thinks to himself that even if Adam doesn't die, serious brain damage is likely.
