Generally speaking they have a very decent track record for solving murders and violent crimes here

And you know what? That is the thing, if you think your going to get away with something, think again. If it's not now, it will be soon, that late at night when your sleeping in bed and you hear what sounds like your door being bashed in and "SEARCH WARRANT" being yelled, your time is up.

Why even consider doing crime to begin with?

We had one of those last week too, Ausgirl. An arrest for the abduction/murder from 30 years ago of 10-year old Louise Bell here in SA.

AFTER 30 years of false leads, excavated backyards and a wrongful conviction, police believe one of South Australia's highest-profile murder mysteries has been solved, with the charging of a former teacher for the murder of missing Adelaide schoolgirl Louise Bell.

I guess we hear so much about different cases in America with police chiefs giving interviews about what they've discovered etc. But because our laws are so different here so as not to have any reason for a contempt of court . The prosecution is so careful to keep all evidence secret until the court case so as the accused cannot say they have not had a fair trial. It is when they make these unexpected arrests that we realise the need for secrecy. It is great when they solve these cold cases . It proves that if you commit the crime and you think you got away with it somewhere down the line you will be found out.
Glade are seeing this happen across Australian now.

South Aussie -- FANTASTIC news on Louise Bell! :) OMG it was a teacher! I am so glad they finally have made an arrest!

Yup, our boys and girls in blue are really something, aren't they? Omg, wouldn't it just be perfect to see an arrest in Novy's and Shey's and a few other cases this week.. :thud:

'They never give up' - it's a very comforting thought, that.

they'll get you said:
Does 'stable' mean she's not getting any better or worse? She's stabilised?

Yes, I think that is what it means. I looked it up last night, seems there are two things addressed in describing a person's medical condition.

First is 'current state' - if they are in serious/critical/fair/good condition.
Second is 'short-term prognosis' - if they are improving/worsening/stable.


"Either or both of two aspects of the patient's state may be reported. First, the patient's current state may be reported, e.g., as being good or serious. Second, the patient's short-term prognosis may be reported, e.g., that the patient is improving, is getting worse, or that no immediate change is expected (stable)."

Just wanted to confirm that what south has sleuthed is correct in terms of icu lingo in australia - with the exception of "critical" - which basically we use to say "it could go either way." It's used as the antonym of stable.

Serious but stable is a pretty common statement - the serious can mean anything from surgeries still outstanding, still being mechanically ventilated, requiring haemodialysis, requiring inotropic support or all of the above - but those interventions have been steady.

If someone needed adrenaline or norad but we were having to continually titrate dosage, we would class them as critical.



I haven't delved into Shey's case too much, mainly because it's way too close to home - I have nightmares about winding up as a patient!!!!

I do really feel for her sister, because I see the toll on families - the fear and the worry. But ignorance and optimism can overcome alot.... as soon as youre in that situation with some background knowledge, it would not be reassuring, it would be a thousand times worse.

Thanks ICU Nurse, for all of the helpful medical information you provide on these forums. It is much appreciated!:seeya:

ICU NURSE. As a retired nurse I agree that knowing too much can can really drag you down. It takes away that hope that helps get you through a very emotional trying time. Even so you are always praying for a miraculous recovery.
I am praying for Shey to come through this. My prayers and thoughts are with her family.
Also I am hoping the police know more than they are letting on.
