Great news on the DUI front! While the NHTSA is funding training in a couple of states for training law enforcement officers for drawing blood in the field, it has now passed a very important legal hurdle. Whether through this case or others, it will likely go to the federal Supreme Court, where we will either see it pass through the highest court clearly or important adjustments will be made known so legislatures...

A bill expected to be voted on today in the Wisconsin Assembly will if passed make what amounts to a slap on the wrist a slightly harder slap on the wrist in certain circumstances. While the bill is expected to pass, it falls way short of what Wisconsin and most other states are doing in terms of reducing the river of blood on their highways because of drunk drivers.

As I go fishing around the web for nonsensical rant, there are times where I am amazed at just how terribly wrong some people are. This week’s worst is just such an occasion. This would not scare me so much if this person wasn’t so logical in his desire to see DUI relaxed or lifted altogether. It certainly makes sense that someone arrested for DUI might have an axe to grind, but this is far more than that....

I try often to point out that there is a rhythm to trauma injury and death. That rhythm is before us every day whether we choose to observe or not. This weekly post is to be a reminder of that rhythm, and that it needs to end. Especially where it comes to the most criminal aspect of that rhythm of trauma injury and death on our highways; drunk driving. It is our commitment to have a constant reminder the toll...

For both survivors of trauma injury where the mechanism of trauma is a car accident, and indeed for those that survive tragic death by trauma, for some a big part of the struggle is “do they make contact”.
