Resolved Question: How do I go about/fight this particular traffic ticket given my situation?

I'm in the state of NJ. I got a careless driving 2 point ticket, and I won't get into the full details over how b/c it's complicated and it happened while I was having a medical emergency, but nevertheless I got it. What can those be reduced down to, if I speak to the prosecutor about amending it or whatever,etc? I already used something twice, where I got some charges reduced down to a 0 point violation, so whatever that was I can't use it a 3rd time. So I'm wondering if they then just leave it at the original 2 point ticket violation, or do they switch it to something else or what? I actually had to get an ambulance to take me into the hospital during this whole experience, and I basically got the ticket because I put my emergency lights on, to pass a few cars to get to the hospital because i really didn't want to wait while I was feeling bad, and pulling over while I was so close would have been stupid, though I was even on the phone with the 911 people and they were advising me what to do. It was complicated, but I don't feel that I deserved a ticket for that especially when i did it intentionally to get to where I was going. I wasn't careless driving, I was driving with intent. Also the officer couldn't give a cahoots about how I felt. He really seemed like he didn't even care. Who should I complain to about that? I just don't know what to do right now, should I just pay the ticket and just get it over with? I mean it's only a 2 point ticket, but will the judge listen to my story and what not? Should i bring paperwork from the hospital? How should I prepare for this? Should i take it to trial??? I just feel like this was wrong and in most cases it's okay to get a ticket especially if you broke a law, but I was having a medical emergency, and it was confusing because it wasn't bad enough to the point where I couldn't drive, i was alert and fine, but my heart was beating abnormally to a degree and I felt my arms/legs start going numb and I calculated that I was only like 30 seconds away from the hospital anyways so I'll drive there, instead of wasting time and pulling over and waiting, etc etc etc. The cop made me take longer to get there, and meanwhile I was in distress, panic, and getting worse once he stopped me and I had to wait for the ambulance. He made my situation WORSE. It's always about the law and always about other drivers. You always have to just be a good little driver and behave...god forbid you're dying or have something wrong with you and NEED to get somewhere. Oh just sit back pull over and call them. It's NOT that easy. What about where you leave your car...what if it's a bad neighborhood and someone steals it or breaks in? What if it's in a bad spot and risks getting hit? What if it's in a business/commercial place? Again it's not that simple, and I was in a confusing situation, and the 911 people were telling me to drive to the hospital one second, pull over the next, u get the idea... but I just can't beleive that even after the ambulance came and hooked me up to all these machines and what not, I still had the heartless cop give me the ticket and go "it could have been worse u could have gotten more tickets for how you were driving." That was perhaps true but still heartless, unhelpful, unfriendly, and totally cold. I officially H@te cops right now. I can't believe they'd do that even while someone is suffering. Heck, I even saw them laughing with each other. Another day for them, another dollar..they just care about themselves and money. they're such sc8mbags. What can I do about this? if i need to complain about the cops obviously I'd do it after the ticket matter's been resolved. * 2 hours ago * - 4 days left to answer. Additional Details By the way, there's no way in hades that i'm going to respect a cop just because they have a badge. They're people just like everyone else, and they are elitists and think they're better than you just because they're police officers. I really don't like their attitude and approach. It's nasty and totalitarian. more

Resolved Question: Can you become nocturnal?

I've been having problems with my sleep cycle for over a year now. It started out with me being extremely tired all the time for no reason. It was weird, I got to the point where I was sleeping 12 hours at night, and having 4 hour naps in the afternoon. Obviously, this was a problem because I was more or less not living anymore. So I went to the doctor repeatedly, and at first she tried to get me to stop napping, but she realized that I literally couldn't. If I didnt nap, I would fall asleep some where. Even if I tried to exercise, I would get so tired I would fall off the machines. So she gave me ritalin in the hopes that it would help keep my awake. And it helped, and I started having less naps. but then I started University this fall, and so my sleep cycle changed again. I started staying up much later in the evening and sleeping in longer, and I have found that if I stay up until about 3am, sleep in to 10am, I dont have my problem with staying awake at all. It completely disappears. I have also found that my eyes are getting irritated with the sun, it happened gradually, but now I find that when I leave the house in the day time my eyes are very sore to the light and I get bad head aches. As soon as the sun goes down, I feel more active, more alert, and just "happier" its so strange. I used to be a real sun worshiper too, I just loved the sun, and now I'm the opposite. I love to go for walks at night, to study at night, to do everything at night, I just love it. I feel like I have become nocturnal, but not by choice. Its like my BODY wants to be. So I was wondering if there is a medical explanation for this, and if there is anything I can do about it? because my quality of life is so much better when I live nocturnally, but at the same time, its hard to live that way when the rest of the world lives during the day...oblivion: lol i KNEW someone would say that! I was actually going to change my avatar name just for this question! lol but its actually not, I started having these problems quite a while before I fell utterly in love with vampires. Its really a strange situation, I know, but I dont know, I feel like its true for me. I just feel like I`m meant to be up at night. more

Resolved Question: Would u think she's looking for attention?

Your friend is generally a very shy and quiet person, but talkative and open with you. She also has asthma. She was taken to the hospital from work one day and ever since then, she decided to wear a bracelet with a medical alert tag. Later on in the year, she was brought to the hospital again. Then she started bringing a travel nebulizer (breathing machine) to and from work each day and also has to fit in time to take her nebulizer before going out / hanging out. You were going to hang out today, but when you called her, she said she had just finished taking her nebulizer, would be over soon and apologized for being late. She also mentioned the medicine she took before bed makes her very drowsy and it knocked her out so much that she had a late start that morning. Would you think she's looking for attention by doing these things? more

Resolved Question: Listen to me..do yo believe on pain ? are you?

Life is about choices, finding a good doctor is a really big area of opportunity for the general population to make good choices, when those who do not have to many opportunities can make bad choices, they don’t have to many opportunities to be able to overcome from the bad choices. People who get hurt have no financial cushion because they medical insurance is not enough to cover all their expenses and they’re living on fixed income. The situation is that doctor's can have a free way to turn their office into a money business. Every 15 minutes they see a patient not enough for a complete examination. Making it easy to for everything to end in a malpractice, doctor "mistakes" ect. Here is my..pain,my anger,my feelings, I went looking for a better quality of life and I almost did not make it back home . Because I went to fix my intestine tract and I came back with my intestine tract worst and my doctor told my family that he made a mistake at the surgery : he burn my left kidney urether ...! Hey! here is months later... still passing by and I am still suffering with lots of pain !. Doctors just swallow their words just covering for each other maybe in case of any law suit. They act like it deaf they don't hear my complaints of my pain suffering. they loved to hear I'm fine and I am not fine the pain is killing me and my life is miserable and very uncomfortable. I live with Multiple Sclerosis maybe since I was 9 years old and I know how to handle pain. I got use to all the pain and suffering in pain because I refuse to take pain medications , But a pain like this one I can't manage the way I manage MS pain. And , then they said it was because I was adictive to pain killer ... when I was really hurt from them. And I never have any complaint from any doctor in my life to be accused of any kind of abuse of pain killer or any medications. I'm not a medicine person . it is a shameful that these doctors carry on this way.. One of those doctor's told me , using my feelings, if he don't have family he will kill himself because what he did to me..! Yeah right ..but he is one of the unique ones seen that im helpless looking to cover behind my back.!!! and I just find out thru my records! My kidney have hydronephrosis due to the careless mistake from the doctor burning the urether, they put a catheter into my kidney to drain the liquid from my kidney ..this doctor didn't follow directions from the person that was at the machine..I hear when she told him some measures to the doctor and the other technician responded " The doctor he is already in there and have some liquids out..." , everyone in the room laughed. Next Day in the morning the drain area was itching and hurting , that was my first alert to the hospital, then about 6 hours later I mentioned again, my itching and hurting complaints and this nurse responded with some kind attitude asking me if I want a pain killer. She call my doctor don't know what kind of noise , my doctor send her to send me home. So the radiologist came to take the drain out , at soon he try to remove the drain , it felt like he was taking my entire kidney out...I screamed ...I feel a lot of pain..I feel in like I was in hell..the worst imaginable pain..finally he took it out it was blood in there , he look at me , and he leave the room without telling anybody that he hurt me. After my family got there The nurse call him by phone and he told her to just to give me a pain killer for the pain. The entire weekend passed they did not send me home but they do not give me any treatment either . I requested for my general practice doctor to be called and she came to see me the next day, I explained to her what happen .. and heeeere we go....at this time she send for blood work...I was on 6 mlg hemoglobin , I was in need of a blood transfusion ..another ct scan and it was another proof the radiology hurt me too... Result for all of this I'm a person with a MS and ..I was hurt by two doctors, bleeding internally, burning in my left kidney urether, sten on my left kidney urether , a drainage bag on my left kidney side hanging , And an IV bag with a note saying " Not Medication thru this IV"...meaning no pain killer!! it's a shame! After all this I feel depression, anger, anxiety and much more which I reserve . All of this have been a cruelty , inhuman and degrading treatment by having some doctors just covering their mistakes avoiding any symptoms , complaints, if i brought one. I was really hurt and really in bad pain when someone has pain it is important that they believe in them when they say that they have pain ..just don't cover up mistakes. Relieve the pain !. Today..I just resign from doctors ! The good thing from all of this is that they cannot say that I sue them ! Even though I do have the right to do so. Today , I just want to keep going and if any doctor read this ... please listen to your patience . Believe in pain. And please forgive me. http://listentolillie.angelfire.com/blog/ more
