Where is Williams street?
can we have an update
Williams st runs from james to prospect parallel with rt 9
How’s the patient doing do we need a name for tehillim
It’s the street that people regularly speed down eventhough the speed limit is only 25 mph. It’s a residential street!!!
#3, what if it is a goy? No prayers?
#5 He asked for a name, not a Jewish name. You can say Tehilim for anyone.
Ironic that they transported him to Jersey Shore, when Kimball Hospital is right across the street!!
its the street that is ase wide as rt 9 and you drive as fast as rt 9 wen the speed limmet is 25 thay shud give a lot more tickets thear mabe officer hemick shud go thear he is very good at inforcening the law
Not ironic just smart
#7. here is the RULE: There a 2 reasons a paitent is given CPR. 1) cardiac arrest 2) traumatic arrest. in this case the pt was hit by a car therefore he was in traumatic arrest and needs to go to the nearest TRAUMA center.
They dont transport a patient to jersey shore if its cpr in progress. i guess the patient was alive other wise they wudve went to kimball.
#8 SPELLING PLEASE
# 12 – if you can’t, why should he?
#13, please estop the befuddlification of the extricationator #12, I mean extrAcationator
to my understanding no one has ever walked out of a hopital alive on their own two feet after being brought in in traumatic arrest due to an auto accident. perhaps there are rare exceptions. anyone know otherwise?
Nebach
The. Question was does the patient need prayers is she fine did she g-d forbid expire that’s all no prejudice meant
To all the drivers who drive on my ****** while i am lawfully driving on Williams at 25mph, and you are annoyed that I am not doing 50 like you would prefer…….maybe this story will teach you a lesson to obey the speed limit, regardless of how wide and straight a road is. May Audencia have a quick recovery and he will be in my prayers in shul this yom tov.
#8 hire an editor before you post a comment.
shore medical is where trauma patients are taken.
Kids stop bickering! who cares if one knows how to spell or not someone was hurt, no matter if he’s a jew or not!
Lakewood has an issue, people (including outsider) who drive here don’t seem to care about street signs and I think that they take advantage of our great and kind police who are easy on us!!
whats wrong with kimbal they are great
