A very close friend of mine had an accident on the night of the 21st/morning of the 22nd and ended up in JPS. After reading what his injuries were (he sent me a list), I was, and still am, amazed he survived. ..truly God had to have intervened. JPS is a darn good trauma hospital. Truly, they are some of the best for these types of deals, even though he was much closer to 2 other hospitals, they made the right choice.

I was able to go see him today to do some assessments and work with his PT on some treatments. While I was there, the nurse came in and apologized that she was a bit late with his medications....apparently shortly before I arrived there was a commotion and 3 of the nurses were punched in the face by a patient. Last night, the patient next door started screaming at the nurses (things I cannot post here) and throwing things at them.

Hopefully my friend will be able to go to either a Skilled Nursing Facility or inpatient rehab soon.

JPS is good for traumas, but that place is freaking scary!

Best trauma center in tarrant co. I understand they send out people to collect the gang bangers dropped on the regular.

Yes, as crazy as it is there it is a very good hospital-

My daughter is an ER nurse, she was at Parkland ER for five years or so.
Man, the stories she told-

It’s like Ratz’s friend type things there every day.

If you're ever in deep kimchi in a medical way and you're in Ft. Worth, go to JPS.
If you're in Dallas, go to Parkland.

They’ve come through for us a couple of times.

Yep. If you got a sick injured ch8ld then Cook's is incredible.

that's the second time that has been brought up tonight

I worked with an eccentric (just plain weird) surgeon that was a true genius but he would lie in wait for nurses that called it Cook’s ChIldren and from then out they learned it was Cook Childrens.

So you know about the turkey sandwiches?

Praying for your friend. Hope for a good recovery! The Lord Jesus Christ has control.

My niece is and has been a charge nurse in the ER - what a saint she is!!! Amazingly difficult job especially through the past year. So happy to read this story - she and her team rock it every day! Praying for your friend!

had options of which hospital ta be transported a coupla times.. only reason not jps was wife/relatives.. didn't want to put them thru tha "trauma" of havin' ta hang out there.. agree that it probably has best team around......................

I've been through both JPS and Parklands er. Both give amazing care, but both are wild as hell and nuts.

I don't care how he pronounced it. Its a great place. I worked there in ER for a couple of years. Their staff is incredible with kids.

If I ever have holes in me that’s where I want to go for sure!
