Plot
Randy and his family are having a camp in the woods. While his parent set up their equipment, Randy leaves to find some worms for fishing but is attacked by a rattlesnake. While struggling, a quadriplegic man in a wheelchair comes to his rescue and introduces himself as a doctor. He gives Randy first aid instructions on how to remove the venom from his body and teaches him how to use a yellow extractor to suck the venom out. Randy manages to save himself and as he continues sucking the venom, the doctor disappears and as Randy wonders where he went, he dozes off until he is awakened by his parents' calls.
As he is given the antivenom, Randy tells his parents and the paramedics about the quadriplegic doctor he encountered. One of the paramedics tells the family that the doctor Randy encountered was none other than Dr. John Byrd, who had died ten years prior. He reveals that Byrd was an intelligent local in their town who had a dream to become a doctor who could help the townsfolk. Although he graduated from medical school and obtained his license after passing the board exams, he wasn't able to practice his profession after a terrible vehicular accident on his way back to the town caused him to become a quadriplegic for his entire life.
It is then suspected that John Byrd might have feigned his death and is still alive, living as a hermit in the woods.
