Carolina Focus with Sharon Thorsland and Ed Billick – Sunday July 7, 2024

Guest: Fonda Bryant, mental health expert and trainer – CMPD Suicide: Discussion On Mental Health Of all First Responders especially our police officers with Bo Thompson and Beth Troutman.

Dr. Michael Beuhler, emergency room physician at Atrium Health and medical director with North Carolina Poison Control:

This is the number of human exposure/bites from Rattlesnakes, copperheads, cottonmouths and unknown crotalids (which means it was a pit viper, we just didn’t know which one).   Our case volume of “snake bites” is even more than this because we also get calls about unknown snakes—- both those that are not known if they are venomous and those snakes that are known to be non-venomous.  .
Our web site.  It has educational materials that were developed with other respected groups and has a wealth of information. https://www.ncpoisoncontrol.org/types-of-poisons/venomous-creatures/snakes

WBT’s Pete Kaliner Gets Reaction to Supreme Court Immunity Verdict from Congressman Dan Bishop.

Will Hobson and Bella Bella Valentini from CPAP.com share the survey that Charlotte Douglas International ranks among the top 20 most sleep-friendly airports across North America.  With access to two massage options, 11 24-hour food options, a shower facility, two minute suite locations, and 8 lounges – it’s easy to see why CLT is so high up on the list.  Though it’s another major airport, Raleigh-Durham International doesn’t even rank in the top 50 airports. Overall, the most sleep-friendly airport in North America is Mexico City International – followed by Los Angeles International, John F. Kennedy International, Dallas Fort Worth International, and Philadelphia International rounding out the top five.
