Found Alive NC - Allison Cope, 24, Raleigh, 26 June 2017

Does "stable condition" indicate some harm had come to her, self inflicted, accidental or outside force, or is that a standard way of saying her vitals are "normal?"

I think it could mean either one. JMO.

Glad she was found

A word about the hospital -- It sounds like a good place:

https://www.sentara.com/hampton-roa.../sentara-virginia-beach-general-hospital.aspx

It is. I've been hospitalized there for asthma issues and have always felt well cared for. Sentara is huge down here. They run most of the hospitals, plus they have many urgent care facilities, specialists and other medical services in this area. They offer financial assistance to patients who can't afford to pay. I know a friend whose entire bill for a weekend stay was forgiven by Sentara because she was unemployed and struggling at the time.

Whatever her reasons were for leaving like she did, I hope she gets the help she needs. She's an adult and entitled to take off if she wants to, although I wouldn't do things the way she did.

STOP the baiting, the snark, the bickering, and the personalized posts.

If you can't say something, do not hint at it. That is a TOS violation.

Allison has been found alive and that is a wonderful thing. Perhaps more information regarding her disappearance will be released to the public and perhaps it will not.

There are thousands of other cases that are active on WS right now. Consider finding another case that interests you if it is too difficult to follow TOS in this case.

This post falls at random.

How did you know about this? I
don't remember anything re this.
Wow.

The Raleigh-Durham International Airport Authority Police Department said it was notified by police in Virginia early Sunday morning.

Cope was taken to the Sentara Virginia Beach Hospital by an officer and is in stable conditions, according to hospital officials.

There are no additional details on how she got to the location where she was found.

Me thinks the 'falls at random' part means is not directed at the post above it... it's just a general warning to all people contributing to the thread.

Some people find water very calming maybe she was wondering what to do and was just sitting at a beach? I don't know if she was at the water though. I wonder if she was alone or with anyone. Alas she is safe. <modsnip> Jmo and all that jazz.

So happy that she was found alive! Hope she gets all the help and love that she needs.

Oh, hurray! This news has absolutely made my weekend!

Allison, hang in there and be true to yourself. Things may seem overwhelming sometimes, but it will work out. You'll see.

Below is an excerpt from an article entitled, What Does "Stable" Condition Mean?

It helped me understand it much better! Apparently "stable" is not really a condition -- it describes the condition. Here is a list of conditions:

Undetermined: Patient awaiting physician and assessment.
Good: Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. Patient is conscious and comfortable. Indicators are excellent.
Fair: Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. Patient is conscious, but may be uncomfortable. Indicators are favorable.
Serious: Vital signs may be unstable and not within normal limits. Patient is acutely ill. Indicators are questionable.
Critical: Vital signs are unstable and not within normal limits. Patient may be unconscious. Indicators are unfavorable.
The term "vital signs" means indicators such as blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and respiration. The one-word descriptions are not medical terms, and they are more art than science. They're based on a doctor's best judgment of a patient's condition, as relayed to hospital spokespersons.

We've all heard, "critical but stable," and "serious but stable" wherein "stable" means that the condition is neither getting worse nor better at the time.

So glad she is alive! I hope she finds what help/guidance she needs and continues to thrive.

Thanks very much for posting.

Good for her! Hope the media doesn't follow her home and camp out.

Considering that at least one station, WTVD, had a reporter stationed outside the hospital in Va Beach, I would wager that they will. While no one "owes" anyone an explanation, I think some family member probably will need to make some sort of statement to the press, beyond 'yeah she is alive, and gonna be okay, thanks for asking', in order to get them to move on. All news outlets said they would continue to try to get more details when they reported she had been found. JMO
