A Providence journalist’s investigation into the doctor known as the “pill mill killer”
Phil Eil: Well, what initially caught my attention was the simple wildness of the two facts that I first had. One, that this guy Paul Volkman had gone to medical school with my dad and they had both graduated with MD PhDs from the University of Chicago in 1974 and then they had gone in such wildly different directions. My dad is still a practicing physician here in Rhode Island and in Fall River, and Paul Volkman is now in federal prison for serving a life sentence for prescription drug dealing. So the sheer mystery of that, along with the personal connection, was what caught my interest. But as I got further into the story and learned about the community where these crimes took place in Southern Ohio, which has been hit so hard by prescription drugs and later other kinds of opiates. And when I learned about the lives of the folks who went to Paul Volkman and who died shortly thereafter from apparent overdoses, the story just kept getting more and more urgent as I went.

Town of Rehoboth Nurse’s Notes
Can you believe it is time for Back to School? Though the jingle “the most wonderful time of the year” comes into my head, I hope our young families and their loved ones have all had a safe and enjoyable summer. Though many of you will be reading my notes here as Labor Day looms, I’m sure all have gotten health records in to the schools. As our little petri dishes head back to the classroom, it is a good time to review handwashing and cough etiquette with them. And of course, if your child does become sick, please keep them at home, particularly if the child has a fever. If your child becomes ill, staying home until symptoms are resolving and until the child is fever free, without medication, for 24 hours is advised. These are also the newest recommendations for all respiratory illness, including COVID, ‘flu and RSV illnesses. For those who have followed my notes over the years, I know your have heard me say, it is a challenge to have to stay home from work with a sick child, I know. But the other side of this is that the illness will spread around the classroom and school and your child will likely become sick again. Check in.
