MVA closes Route 5 in Calaway area

[Bann]

You are right Bann, but I do have to say that I am not that dumb as to assume that there aren't other medical conditions that require some serious monitoring. I have almost 40 years of service in with the medical field. Something as simple as Benedryl should not be taken if you have to Drive, or operate any machinery. I might not be able to spell, but the one thing I can say about myself..I do know a little about Medicine.

I've been taking Benadryl 'round the clock (per the dosage on the packaging) for over a week and I've been driving, too.

BTW, it doesn't make me drowsy like it does other people. So you don't know that much about medications if you think that everyone has the same reactions to them. Tolerance levels vary widely & the way someone metabolizes medications certainly vary from person to person.

That's a moot point anyway. It matters NOT what medications the loser was taking OR his medical condition. He killed people while he was operating that vehicle. Totally his responsibility for driving under whatever condition he was in or substance he was taking.

I was out of town last weekend and missed this whole tread. Just now catching up and had to stop to reply to THIS idiot's post.

YOU are a flipping lunatic to even begin to equate the feelings you have over the carnage of this "car accident" which resulted in death to others to the feelings you have for a 5 yo child battling the ravages of cancer.

As horrific as it is for anyone to have to endure, no one "causes" a child or anyone else to have cancer. It's an act of God, the luck of the draw, if you will. That is NOT the case in this "car accident" where a repeat offender (per the Md. Judiciary site) who is a major loser in life went out and slaughtered those innocent victims with his motor vehicle. A vehicle was sheared in half like a tin can!!!! UFB. And it was not the only vehicle damaged in this "car accident". So yeah - surprise! People are judging the driver.

And I just judged you. It's called my opinion.

If an impared driver causes a crash..it is NOT an accident..it's a crash Plain & Simple. There are Children that are suffering the loss of their Mother too. Let's not forget that. So JLS should consider that too.

I do know that not all people get drowsy with Benedryl. Some even get hyper, I was using that as an example. YES..he should pay..I never said, or implied anything different. I was just thowing out an opinion. I didn't realize that people would just be picking me apart. You don't know me Bann, and I don't know you, so PLEASE stop trying to pick a fight. We are all intitled to our opinions. Sorry if I pissed you off, or anyone else for that matter. I am not defending that man at all!!

No kidding. I put the words "car accident" in quotations to show that I used that term loosely.

I think most of us posting realize there are children and other family members suffering from the loss of life.

You didn't piss me off - you used my post to make your points and I was debating you on your points.

If you consider that picking you apart and picking a fight - oh well.

Sorry if I misunderstood the quotations..it's late. Everyone is right, and this was a horrible incident. I really do feel for all people involved, especially the young Women that left this world too soon, and for the Children that will miss their Mother for the rest of their lives. I lost my Mother who was only 41. I was 14, and to this day..I really MISS her. She didn't have to be taken so early either..but it happened. That's why I became a Paramedic, because I wanted to help, and pay my County & the people in it, back.

 

[red_explorer]

hmm

You'll be hard pressed to find sympathy for him here. If eye witness statements are true, people in a diabetic coma do not curse at and flip people the finger.

My husband did....

And like someone else said, its all about responsibility. My husband didnt feel safe driving anymore, didnt feel like he could safely drive, and not put others in danger on the road....and it infuriated me at the time. It meant that everything was on my shoulders, work, home, farm, doctors, more.

For those who said diabetics are seen by doctors every three months...not necessarily. Some doctors only see their patients once a year, even if they are diabetic.

He killed those women...thats a foregone conclusion. He should be charged.

 

[wineo]

I would like to see how Laquanda(the lady with the really long nails and gum) is going to enforce it

She must be the same one that when I asked"how come I only get 1yr of tag payment refunded to me, she replied with, you can fill a form out and submit it. I don't know why they only refund part of your tags even when you only used 3 months for the first year".. I want her job.:coff

Are you currently a Paramedic in St. Marys?

 

[sockgirl77]

My groupies? WTF are you talking about?

 

[SoMDGirl42]

I never did say that I could spell, but if you were dieing of a Heart Attack, you would just be happy that I was there A$$Hole. Doctors can't tell when a Patient is NOT taking their meds you FREAK, but with the blood work, they certainly CAN tell if the med is, or is NOT working. Get a LIFE you jerk. You talk about STUPID..just re-read your assinine POST. I KNOW I'm not perfect, but you obviouly THINK that you are!

Well doesn't that just shows your intelligence level

how'd ya'll miss that one?

Now lets see if Baja will make a comment about YOUR spelling! Probably NOT!

You used "your" in the correct way. 1 point

OK Baja..Hands get sore from BEATING............your Wife?

baja got married??? I mean

Are you currently a Paramedic in St. Marys?

 

[Sweet 16]

You do realize there are dozens of medical conditions which require medication? And you do realize that there are warnings on MANY medications which state you should use caution while operating machinery (Or NOT operate machinery) while taking the medication?

It's all about personal responsibility. Diabetes didn't cause that "accident". The loser who was driving did.

Apparently his daddy disagrees with your opinion. If he has had diabetes for 30+ years, then he should know how and be responsible for managing it. I understand the sudden, wild blood sugar swings that can cause you to pass out, but I'm still not buying it, especially considering his past traffic and criminal history. And if those violations are the result of diabetes, then he should not be allowed to drive a car and on that point, both he and his family are responsible for what happened! Or maybe it's become the defacto excuse for him and his family for his bad behavior.

Any updates?

The two girls are still dead, and the loser that caused their death's is not.

Agreed. He was responsible. He didn't take due diligents to avoid the CRASH - it was preventable. Not accident, crash.

 

[PrepH4U]

Is the accident causer still in the hospital? Any progress on charges?

He's been out of the hospital for a few weeks and there have been no charges listed yet.
