Moses is said to be doing well

Weeks after being involved in a major vehicular accident in the vicinity of Bath Estate to St Aroment back road, Denroy Moses, 22, of Laudat is said to be home and doing well.

He was released from the hospital last week and “is coming on well,” a reliable source told Dominica News Online (DNO).

“It was a miracle and prayers do work.” the source stated.

Moses was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) in critical condition on October 26, after the vehicle he was driving plunged into a 60-foot precise in the back road at about 10:00 am.

Police PRO, Acting Superintendant of Police, Claude Weekes said Moses recovery is encouraging news.

“We remember the young chap from Laudat who went into the 60 feet precipice, he was in the Intensive Care and it has been reported that he has come off from the coma. We learnt that he may be out the ICU ward, so that is encouraging news,” he told DNO.

Reports stated that at the time of the accident Moses was driving a Nissan Sunny car registration number PI946 and was traveling from Laudat to Roseau.

Weekes advised road users to, “drive with care and attention.”

“We have better roads, our road network is indeed safer and better and we have larger roads…it should be used wisely and safely,” he said.

    Pleased to hear that you are well on your way to recovering from that accident and trauma. Day by day, take it easy during your recuperation process. Have no anxiety. Just concentrate on becoming well again. God bless you with complete health and strength.

    Half the people here need to learn how to drive and to drive with courtesy to other drivers and pedestrians. Then there would be less accidents. Where the idea perpetuated throughout the Caribbean that Dominicans “are good drivers” came from, I have no idea. I see a lot of crashed up vehicles in the repair shops.

    If you have not yet trusted Christ as your personal Lord & Saviour,you need to do that today. Make no delay because he has a good plan for you, he loves you that’s why he died on the cross for you.

    Weekes is not talking about the road where the accident happened when he speaks of larger roads and bigger roads. He is misleading. The section of the road where the accident occurred collapsed some time ago before the accident and there is a precipice beneath. Unbelievably, no guard rail or other barrier was placed there. instead, two drums were placed on the collapsed section. Even after the accident, no improvement has been made.

    Why do people also miss the basic point which is that dangerous section of the road should have been repaired and made safe for traffic years or months ago. Apart from the cruise ship season commencing in October which means thousands of tourists having to drive along that road to some of our major sites in addition to the Dominicans who ply that route daily for work or school, it was just a matter of time for an accident to happen. In spite of that, nothing has been done since but hundreds of thousands of dollars are being spent to get Dominicans to turn away from the important issues facing the country. Dominicans must be honest with themselves and stop brushing the real issues under the carpet.

    Thank God the young man has survived but the question is who or what next?

      I commend you for that comment!
      People of Laudat and Trafalgar need to step up their game and take their voices in large numbers to media! take pictures, videos, and other necessary evidence to show that this road is INDEED dangerous…..
      I do not live and haven’t been on this road in years, because I am no longer on the island, but i remember as far back when I traveled with my papa back and forth to Laudat, I was scared to death on that route, and would always pray. However, if its one man that knew how to drive on that road was him. Never had an accident and would always get be cautious when driving to and from Laudat. hey that’s where he’s from but I’m not, but in my grown man days, I’m still a bit scared to travel on this road! These sharp turns, give me the creeps at times!!!
      Do like my dad, press your HORN for 4 seconds at every turn!! and NO RUSH, just take ya time!

      This is what plagues drivers, passengers, visitors/tourists. Some of the roads could be scary. Today, D/ca has better and wider roads. Drivers must be cautious for their very own safety, that of their passengers and other vehicles which also carry passengers.
      On one of my visits, coming from the then Melville Hall airport, a few members of my family and I were traveling with some visitors who also arrived on the same plane. They expressed how scared they were of the roads. Their facial expression also projected it. Only God has prevented many more major accidents on those roads of Dominica.
      Some nationals have some very good ideas and suggestions. They must exercise their duty as concerned nationals, if they have noted this and address their concerns to the proper authorities of the Public Works Department or the government for that matter. You will be helping fellow Dominicans of all. Be persistent and eventually something will be done. Actions are better than words. Never give up and never neglect this.
      The good deeds people do follow them and stating, receiving the blessing of God for doing good.

    Thank God for answered prayers.

      You know, God expects something from those who especially feel that he has helped them; not mere words of thank you, if they did say thank you with a humble, loving and grateful heart. In any case not only at that time but throughout their life.
      You should know what this something is – homage, praise, prayers, performing His Holy Will, performing good works and helping others in Jesus Name. It is in the Bible!
      St. Paul said, “The Kingdom of God is not made of words but of action.”

      First and foremost, the doctors on island were good enough to enable his recovery. You should encourage him to seek out those who worked with him (doctors and nurses,etc )to express his gratitude first and then suggest second opinion later. There are times when we do need to seek medical care off island, but please do not question wholesale the calibre of our doctors. Do not forget that in most developed countries, many doctors face lawsuits for malpractice, etc. Doctors are human and they make mistakes, but we should be grateful to those who care for us.

      Some people have recovered from accidents in Dominica and they are OK. The PMH has the equipment to give him a scan to ensure that he is OK. The fact he recovered from a coma should tell much about the excellent medical care he received at the PMH. Do you think he did not get one? In view of previous complaints, I think today the medical team at the PMH is more careful. Granted, he may need occasional check-ups which he should undergo.
      Some D/cans visited Guadeloupe and Martinique for medical treatment and never recovered. Give the PMH medical team credit. What is to be will be.
