With increased risks of food poisoning, burns from cooking, car accident injuries and the rise of wintertime ailments like the flu, the holiday season can result in more trips to emergency rooms.But in Maryland, higher rates of emergency room visits may exacerbate an existing issue: it can take hours or close to a day between arriving at the emergency room and actually receiving care. State and local officials are trying to determine why emergency room wait times are so long in Maryland.Wait times in the state are longer than the national average, according the Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission, which oversees and regulates hospital rates in the state.According to September data, the shortest median wait time, from arrival to inpatient admission, was about 3.3 hours, or just over 200 minutes, at Atlantic General in Berlin on the Eastern Shore. In 2020, the median emergency room wait time in the United States was 286 minutes, or 4.7 hours, according to U.S. News.Septemb...Digging to rescue 41 workers trapped in a collapsed tunnel in India is in the final stretch

UTTARKASHI, India (AP) — The rescue of 41 construction workers from a collapsed highway tunnel in northern India could happen later Thursday after nearly two weeks of digging and delays.The drilling of the final stretch resumed following a six-hour delay due to a metal object in the debris damaging the blades of the drilling machine.“The machine has started operating again in full swing. So we are hopeful that it will finish early,” said Atul Karwal, chief of the state-run National Disaster Response Force. “We should be able to rescue them in today’s date,” Karwal told reporters at the site.The workers have been trapped since Nov. 12, when a landslide caused a portion of the 4.5-kilometer (2.8-mile) tunnel they were building to collapse about 200 meters (650 feet) from the entrance. Pushkar Singh Dhami, Uttarakhand state’s top elected official, visited the site on Thursday and spoke to some of the workers in the tunnel by walkie-talkie, Karwal said.As of Thursday evening, the ...India wins toss and fields in first T20 match against Australia just 4 days after World Cup final

ATHENS — Greece’s main opposition party Syriza continues to dissolve, with another exodus of members, accusing the party leader of “authoritarian behavior.”Nine lawmakers, including ex-ministers and senior party officials, announced on Thursday they are leaving the party, leaving Syriza with just 36 MPs in the 300-seat parliament, just four more than the third party, the socialist Pasok party.The radical left-wing Syriza party gained Europe-wide notoriety at the peak of the financial crisis in 2015, winning power on a promise to end and reverse the fiscal austerity imposed by the country’s creditors in exchange for bailout loans. A crushing election defeat in June sparked the resignation of Alexis Tsipras after 15 years as the party leader.The unlikely election of Miami expat and ex-Goldman Sachs banker Stefanos Kasselakis as Syriza leader in September infuriated a large segment of the party core, which sees him as out of touch with Greece and its left. Kasselakis has also failed to...Euroskeptics applaud shock Wilders win in Dutch election

Europe’s far-right politicians are lining up to congratulate the anti-Islam, Euroskeptic radical Geert Wilders on his shock victory in Wednesday’s Dutch parliamentary elections.Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s far-right National Rally, said she was “delighted” by Wilders’ triumph. “Geert Wilders and his movement are allies of the National Rally,” Le Pen told French public radio broadcaster France Inter Thursday morning. “They demonstrate that more and more countries within the European Union are contesting the way it works,” Le Pen said.Wilders’ far-right Freedom Party (PVV) made an unexpected breakthrough, securing 37 of the 150 parliamentary seats, according to the latest polls on Thursday morning — making PVV the biggest party in the country.The election results sent shudders through Brussels, as Wilders has openly called for a “Nexit” referendum on leaving the EU. Asked whether a potential “Nexit” referendum would be good news, Le Pen answere...Ravens TE Mark Andrews’ absence leaves a big hole in the passing attack. Can Isaiah Likely fill it?

The Ravens — and quarterback Lamar Jackson — will soon journey into uncharted territory.When Baltimore travels to Los Angeles this weekend and takes the field against the Chargers, it will mark the official beginning of the Ravens’ new normal for likely the remainder of the season: life without Mark Andrews.Jackson was honest Tuesday when asked if the Ravens are more prepared for this reality than in years’ past.“I don’t know. I really don’t know,” said Jackson, who followed his frank uncertainty with his typical praise for the Ravens’ pass catchers.Replacing a player like Andrews — a three-time Pro Bowl selection, 2021 All-Pro and one of the best tight ends in the NFL — is a tall task. It will, as coach John Harbaugh noted after Andrews injured his ankle in Thursday’s win, need to be done in the aggregate.But the player with the best chance to help fill Andrews’ large shoes is Isaiah Likely. Can he?“...Latest news
