Drinking and Driving


Our EMIG (Emergency Medicine Interest Group) pulled off a major DUI prevention event at a local high school yesterday, in an effort to keep little teenage drunkards from killing people. It started with a mock car crash, then an auditorium presentation by a doctor, then breaking the 400 students into small group discussions led by med students. Ironically, we were hoping to get good media coverage but they were all at Cal State Dominguez Hills for a report of a gunman on campus - big teenage sociopath trying to kill people. Maybe next year we should involve the Psychiatry Interest Group and have a mock shooting spree to talk about the dangers of being under the influence of psychosis. But, as it turned out, it was an ROTC student carrying his nonfunctional rifle out in the open to class. Daiiiii!! Even without the paparazzi though, everyone had a good time. You can imagine how much I missed my job that day!
