How many of you have seen vehicles out there drive through those parking lots like it's a Race Track having to go as fast as they can like they just received a 911 call or something?
Having raised 3 children to adulthood and now raising another one, believe me I hold on tight, look not only both ways, but all the way around me and proceed with caution until I'm safely home.

I too would like to thank Sgt. Goeden.
Drivers just need to watch out for other vehicles, people, motorcycles, ATV's and bikes especially this time of year. Let's all play it safe and put the hospital out of business and just keep people safe.

Through the Freedom of Information Act you can gain access to Military court records. I thought I would throw that out there just in case people didn't know. I found that out through our attorney after our grand daughter was shaken. Also, have you heard of the Violent Crime Compensation Board (VCCB) look them up online, they have really helped us out alot.

I had similar dealings with the military 8 years ago when one of their soldiers shook my grand-daughter and almost killed her. He got nothing but kicked out of the military that's all. My grand daughter to this day has developmental delays. I agree, something needs do be done and they need to be held accountable for their actions.

Good job, I wish there were more people like you around.

I once called 911 to report a child unattended in the backseat of a car with no adult in sight. Dispatch told me it was not against the law to leave your child alone unattended in your vehicle as long as the child was in no distress. What's wrong with that picture!

Charge us for there service ABSOLUTELY... but work with those that don't have medical insurance. But when something interfers with the quality of life of a human being, and is recommended by a qualified Surgeon and/or doctor that works within their hospital and/or clinics around town then Fairbanks Memorial Hospital should be able to work with a member of the community to make sure they get the best service possible to make it in the community as a decent citizen and not live hand to mouth and on Public assistance.
Tell me... since when does Chinese herbs take care of amputations?

My son who is of legal age had an unfortunate accident with a skill saw two years ago and therefore had to have emergency surgey on his hand. You can imagine how costly that was as they kept him in the hospital over night and he did'nt have any Health Insurance. The surgeon did a good job with what he had to work with. But, when my sons finger healed it healed in a stiff and frozen straight position.
With the help of the local surgeon we gathered his medical records and made an appointment with a specialist in Seattle. Their findings were that my son would have a better quality of life if the finger were to be amputated.
Upon our return to Fairbanks we made an appointment with the original surgeon to go ahead with the amputation. The surgeon agreed to wave his fee because my son still did not have any Health Insurance. But when we contacted Fairbanks Memorial Hospital they flat out said "NO" because my son had an "OUTSTANDING BILL" and until it was paid in full he was not allowed to have anything done there until that bill was paid for.
My son is a carpenter by trade and finds it very hard to work with the finger the way it is. It's always getting in the way. I can't tell you the number of injuries involving that finger and the number of times he and I have had to doctor it up ourselves because the hospital told him he wasn't allowed there, and it's just because he's to afraid to go back to them.
So Fairbanks Memorial Hospital being a NON-PROFIT Organization, I'd say they're in it for the all mighty dollar.

Okay heres one for you... my grandmother was in a very serious accident back in the 70's before seat belts were the law. Studies were done on her accident. If she had been wearing her seat belt she would have been killed instantly. But instead the impact threw her into the back seat of her vehicle and she survived. Eventually she did die but almost a year later and not from causes from the accident either.
By the way I do wear my seat belt every single time I'm in a vehicle whether I'm the driver or the passenger
