If you had to guess what holiday sees the most deadly DUI accidents, what would you pick? Most people would pick either New Year's Day or New Year's Eve -- there's some overlap, as the late-night parties usually spill over into the early morning. Some may pick St. Patrick's Day or the Fourth of July.
You'll be surprised by the deadliest DUI holiday
What should you do if you think a driver is under the influence?
If you were injured in a car crash caused by a driver who was under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, you're likely angry that this person was behind the wheel when they shouldn't have been. You may feel like you were helpless to prevent the crash -- and perhaps you were. Drunk or drugged drivers can come out of nowhere and cause devastating harm and damage in seconds.
Nursing home residents can be at high risk of infectious diseases
Older people are typically more likely to develop some common infections than younger ones. Their immune systems are often compromised. Moreover, these infections can become serious because seniors may write off symptoms as just more of the aches and pains they're used to. People with dementia may not be able to adequately communicate that they aren't feeling well.
