Meyer retiring from Erie and for good David E. Meyer is retiring again from a police force, but this time for good. Meyer, 67, retired Tuesday as police chief for Erie Township, a post he’s held since last fall while also serving as a school resource officer for Mason Consolidated Schools. The former Michigan State Police trooper for 32 years and liaison officer for Dundee Community Schools has been heading the township police force since last September when he was named to lead the department while Chief Dean Ansel was on a medical leave recovering from a back injury suffered last summer. But this time he’s leaving police work for good. ....
Ice covers most of Lake Erie, but it’s not safe More than 80 percent of Lake Erie is covered in ice, but officials in both Michigan and Ohio are cautioning fishermen and others to stay off. “Just because it’s covered in ice doesn’t make it safe,” said Wendy Stevens, chief of the Frenchtown Township Fire Department. “The ice is not safe. Stay off.” While the formation and depth of Lake Erie ice depends on weather conditions, the days of ice breaking often result in anglers and others getting stranded on ice floes. Just this week in Erie Township, a man who was crossing the ice on foot had to be rescued. That s only one of the examples in recent days in Michigan and Ohio where the ice melt became dangerous to people venturing out on the open lake. ....
CHICAGO A recently released study shows that a multimodal pain regimen (MMPR) designed to minimize opioid exposure and relieve acute pain associated with traumatic injury kept patient self-reported pain scores low while also reducing the daily and total amount of opioid drugs given to trauma patients. Results from the first study of its kind to evaluate an MMPR in a rigorous, randomized controlled trial were published online as an “article in press” by the Journal of the American College of Surgeons in advance of print. “Opioids should not be considered the pillar of treatment for acute pain after injury,” said lead study author John A. Harvin, MD, FACS, associate professor for the department of surgery, McGovern Medical School, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) and trauma surgeon at the Red Duke Trauma Institute at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center. ....

Results of the study, which was conducted at the Red Duke Trauma Institute at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, were published today in the Journal of American College of Surgeons. The research shows us that seriously injured people with acute pain can effectively be treated with an opioid-minimizing strategy, said John Harvin, MD, MS, associate professor in the Department of Surgery at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth and first and corresponding author of ....
