611 is closed between Easton and Stroudsburg, but they could take 33 up from Easton. Scheduled to be reopen by September.

Route 611 through DWG is currently closed for months by PennDOT to stabilize the cliff face after a big rock slide there. If coming from the south towards Stroudsburg, going to need to use Route 33 to cross the mountain at Wind Gap.

Exactly.

I thought bootyjuicing was only SUPPOSED to be used for violent and combative patients who are an immediate danger to themselves and others

A simple fix is to install cameras in every classroom that parents, administrators and taxpayers can watch.

Was not aware of the wait, though this seems common for public housing elsewhere, too. Like I said, aside from casual visits and drive-throughs, I'm not too familiar with Johnstown, but have to wonder how they apparently overbuilt? At any rate, can't help but wonder if complaints about people from Philly moving in en masse are exaggerated...

SR325 from Dauphin to Tower City runs up a nice wooded valley with a reservoir, adds a little time but avoids the worst section of 81 truck/traffic-wise.

Charges should have never even been a consideration.

That route will be mostly 4-6 lane highway…and is quite boring. If you don’t mind some highway, head through Baltimore up 95 to Philadelphia, then take 611 North to Stroudsburg. Depending on where in the Poconos you’re going, you can grab 80 there. The drive from Philly to S-Burg up 611 is awesome

UPMC is one of the most corrupt organizations I have ever witnessed jn our state. I’m a travel nurse and I would NEVER take another upmc contract. They are killing people. Negligence and not following standards of care. I have stories for daaayys about their corruption.

That is exactly what they were trying to do - silence him. And then they had the AUDACITY to ask that man to come back to work 4 days later??

I hope he gets a great retirement from this.

This is what we had to do. Benefits Data Trust, an organization whose whole job is to help people access their benefits, told us it’s an ongoing problem and that the best thing to do is have your state rep’s office put in an inquiry to the Department of Labor. My partner got a call from the unemployment office the next dat with everything straightened out.

I know that can happen but not typically to an employee in the middle of their work day.

I can’t speak to this particular hospital, but I’m a former Public Defender who represented people being subject to involuntary commitment. You wouldn’t believe the hoops that hospital staff and even hearing officers will jump through to commit someone who doesn’t meet the criteria.

It might have to do with the Philadelphia Housing Authority having a tens of thousands (I wish I was joking) on their waitlist for public housing. This has been a problem for years, so I’m guessing some people are willing to move somewhere more rural where they have a chance to get the housing.

And now do they try to make him take the drugs BEFORE being committed? At that point he is not a patient there.

That’s the typical price for health insurance.

Thanks.

You seem like a great person

Are you sure you aren’t having a psychotic break? I looked at your profile and saw that you take recreational psychedelic drugs.

Not judging, it’s fine with me, but don’t expect other people to believe your delusions.

Also, you said in another post that your girlfriend is at the bottom of her payscale. Doesn’t sound like she’s the lead of anything. You’re contradicting yourself a lot.

If you were there that day then I think you shouldn’t be commenting on social media. I’m not a lawyer, but maybe go get yourself one.

I spent a week there and it was the most terrifying experience. There was a woman who was covered in feces because the staff didn’t want to change her soiled diapers. There were roaches. The sinks didn’t drain so it was impossible to wash your hands or brush your teeth. The phone was broken. There was a constant threat of violence and two people were taken to jail. One young man had a seizure during a meal and choked and the staff did nothing. He turned grey. The staff was verbally abusive. I had pneumonia and nephritis from my time in the icu where I also acquired bed sores. There was no way to keep clean and no medical care.

Locally, a public school teaching job couldn't be had prior to covid and the current curriculum intrusions by nuts. Teachers make full year salaries for nine months of short day work (180 days vs 280 for everyone else), with extensive holiday breaks, sick and vacation days, and medical benefits. Because no one was vacating the positions, fewer students opted to obtain education degrees. That, and the general worker shortage, are to blame.

That’s not true. There are empty beds every week. My friend does MH placements. There are hundreds of open beds on any given day.
