The wreck left Smith-Lester in a Coma and she was taken to Vanderbilt Hosptial where she remains in critical condition.  She suffered a fractured pelvis, fractures to her brain and a crushed skull as well as a tear in the amniotic sac, which was leaking fluid. 

At first the Doctors had given littel chance for Smith-Lester's 13 week old fetus.  But now test show the fetus is doing well and without stress.  Smith-Lester remains in a coma but is showing movement in her hands and feet. 

It appears that the unborn fetus has drawn strength from the fight of its mother as it survives against incredible odds.  Our thoughts and prayers will remain with the family, Mrs. Smith-Lester and the baby.  We wish all a speedy recovery and we admire your strenth and your incredible courage.

Kentucky Motorcycle Accident Takes the Life of Dr. Jack Diles

Dr. Jack Diles of Symsonia Kentucky was killed over the weekend in a Kentucky Motorcycle Accident.  Dr. Diles had been practicing Internal Medicine in Western Kentucky for the last four decades. 

Dr. Diles used to be a neighbor of mine when I was growing up.  He was a nice man and an established Doctor.  His accidental death should be a warning sign to all of those that ride Motorcycles in Kentucky. 

In this case it appears that the other driver was at fault.  That means that it is possible to ride a motorcycle, obey all traffic signals and laws and still be hurt.  There is so much less protection for the driver of a motorcycle than one that is in a motor vehicle. 

I want to extend my deepest sympathies to the Family of Dr. Jack Diles.  God Bless you in this most difficult time.   

I know Dr. Diles will be missed by many patients, friends and family.

State of Kentucky Needs Something Similar to Illinois "Shibs Law"

Illinois and their Governor Rob Blagojevich just signed a new law affording additional protection to Emergency Responders while in the line of Duty.  The so called "Shibs Law" was names after a firefighter who was killed last July while responing to a call of a burning Semi Truck.  While trying to put out the fire he was struck by a Greyhound Bus and killed.

The new law allows firefighters and other such Emergency personel to close down a highway or interstate while responding to similar type calls.  Please read the article that I wrote dealing with this matter.  Leave me a comment and let me know if Kentucky could use a similar type law OR do we have to wait until tragedy strikes as was the case in Illinois. 

Read Kentucky.....Lets not Wait to Enact our Own Shibs Law.
