Locked
A WOMAN IN Brooklyn is suing a dental clinic for medical malpractice after she was given anethesia and then inadvertently left in the clinic alone overnight...
Ramona Mercado was expecting to have her wisdom teeth pulled and she was prepped with a dose of anesthesia. But when she came to, she still had her wisdom teeth and discovered that the entire staff at the clinic had locked up and left for the night. She was hysterical, but managed to call the center's night office service. They called 911 and Mercado was rescued. "The officers had to snip the locks off to get me out," she says.
THOUGHT: It would be frightening, indeed, to find yourself in Mrs. Mercado's circumstances, but imagine what it would be like to wake up in torment and not be able to escape... Dear reader, are you READY for the Judgment Day ( Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:38; Romans 10:9-10; Galatians 3:27)?
KneEmail: So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. "Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.' But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.' Luke 16:22-26
