Elmo's Song
I’ve written recently above the new advances that have made our care and lives easier: Stretchers going from two man to one man to now power-operated.

Naloxone’s Effect on Opioid Use
"Narcan parties". That's a new one. We have had several people walk into the local pharmacies, go into the bathroom, shoot up or snort it and then OD all because they know that the appropriate actions will be taken to revive them as the drug is right there on scene already. This is their safe…
