In the newspaper, I saw that a one-time neighbor of mine – a mother, a wife, a member of our community – was sentenced to prison after a DUI from prescription medications that resulted in the death of an innocent child.
Frankly, I am amazed it does not happen more often. This is because my practice has brought awareness regarding the many who drive while severely fatigued, significantly medicated, and seriously debilitated by health problems.
If you find yourself in this population, know that we love you and want you to be well. Love yourself and others enough to get help, learn to use public transportation, never drive impaired, and be open about your problem. Together, we can find ways to keep you and everyone safe.
As a footnote, there is absolutely no reason why the courts, medical clinics, and other government services cannot implement technology to minimize the need for this population to have to commute.
