Reply to comment by Patiod in Pennsylvania hospital wants to send woman in coma to Dominican Republic, against her family’s wishes by WITFnews

I'd argue lvhn is making zero dollars on this case and judging from the article LVHN provided emergent brain surgery and 10 weeks of care.

If you were in another country and needed brain surgery. How many months of care would you seek to get without being asked to return home?

This is an all around unfortunate situation, but should we provide her emergency citizenship and provide her medicaid? I'm all for it but that's not lvhns role

I'm genuinely curious what else lvhn should do. Options are, as I see them. A) keep her as a patient forever B) send her back to her native country C) place her outside on the curb

I'm in favor of universal Healthcare. All for protecting illegal aliens and letting them become a citizen. But this happens often and in other developed countries

I mean sure but at the same time she's been hospitalized for 10 weeks and had brain surgery. Unless the patient and family pay out of pocket, this will be entirely free of charge.

And while in a coma, she might not require to be hospitalized any longer. Then of course, where does she go? No rehab will take her in.

What is LVHN to do if someone doesn't require hospitalization?

Reply to Just moved to Jonestown from Phoenix, Arizona. Where can I find some decent Mexican food? by sammllo

Born and raised in Lebanon but it's been a decade since I've lived there. My parents do. A quick Google search will lead you to a handful of restaurants in town, which should be no more than a 15 minute drive from jonestown. Queso dee'as has been there for quite some time but I never been. The other names I see I don't recognize.

Report back with your favorite so I can go next time I'm visiting.

Not tacos but Lebanon is also home to some world class pretzels. Check out Shuey's if you enjoy pretzels. Soft pretzels are Sunday only and a big deal.
