Today
we visit with American
Society of Anesthesiologists President-elect, Dr. Mary Dale Peterson.
According to a recent survey commissioned by the American Society of
Anesthesiologists, 83 percent of parents feel equipped to manage
their child’s use of prescribed opioids, yet avoidable mistakes are
putting kids at risk. Join us in our discussion about how parents can
safely manage their children’s use of pain medications and how
physician anesthesiologists can help guide parents to reduce the
risks. Website:

Federal
agents have arrested a California nurse on suspicion of running an
illegal online pharmacy that sold more than 20,000 opioid
prescription pills. The Sacramento Bee reported Sunday that Carrie
Alaine Markis of Rancho Cordova was arrested last week and could face
charges including distribution and conspiracy. It was not immediately
known if she has an attorney. Prosecutors say the 46-year-old earned
tens of thousands of dollars selling drugs via a marketplace on the
darknet called Farmacy41. The newspaper said Markis is identified in
court papers as holding a master’s degree in nursing science and
health care leadership from the University of California, Davis.
Markis reportedly appeared in court this past Monday. The US
Attorney’s Office in Sacramento has led efforts nationwide to crack
down on hidden websites that purport to offer untraceable sales of
drugs. (https://nyp.st/2G8B8CW)

An Uber driver from Kalamazoo, Michigan, who pleaded guilty last month in the murders of six people was sentenced to life in prison without parole yesterday. Jason Dalton was convicted in the 2016 fatal shootings of four people in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel and two more in the parking lot of a car dealership. Two other victims were shot, but survived. Dalton allegedly told police after he was arrested that a “devil figure” inside the Uber app controlled him during the shootings, according to the Associated Press.

In
Welsh Folklore, Corgis Transported Fairies
No
wonder the Queen loves corgis. In Welsh legend, a pair of corgis were
said to tow the carts and carriages of fairies and also help them
ride into battle. “The diminutive dogs were perfect for herding
cows,” as Mental Floss adds. “Their short stature kept them out
of the way of flying hooves when they nipped at angry cows’ heels.”

A Gainesville, Florida man was arrested Monday after police said he robbed a restaurant. 56-year-old Steven Michael Berlin was charged with armed robbery. However, he did not have a weapon. According to a Gainesville Police Department arrest report, Berlin entered “Szechuan Palace” and sat down for about 30 minutes. Police said Berlin then approached the restaurant’s counter and told an employee, “I am ready,” walked around the counter and demanded she open the drawer. The employee told police that during the robbery, Berlin had his hand in a position that resembled a gun — his thumb pointed up and his index and second finger pointed straight out. He took money out of the drawer and left. Berlin was later arrested and found with $577. Police said Berlin admitted to robbing the restaurant. He was charged with armed robbery due to the employee believing he had a gun and based on his actions. (https://bit.ly/2HLJanE)

A
man wearing a gray sweatshirt and a wig walked up to the cash
register at a Florida 7-Eleven as if he was going to make a purchase.
But the Lee County, Florida Sheriff’s Office said that instead he
pulled out a gun and demanded cash. Deputies say the wig helped them
nab the robber. They responded after reports of “just-occurred”
robbery and were able to get a detailed suspect description of the
suspect. The man was described as being in his 20s and wearing a gray
hooded sweater and a wig. Deputies searched the surrounding area with
the help of a helicopter and canine units. After “receiving
additional witness information” deputies responded to a nearby
apartment complex where they found Rodriguez. The Sheriff’s Office
said, “Deputies noted Rodriguez was sweating profusely. Deputies
cleared the residence noting in plain view, a gray hooded sweater,
several wigs and a large amount of wadded up cash in an open dresser
drawer.” Rodriguez was arrested and charged with robbery with a
firearm. (https://hrld.us/2SoSO3S)
