The narrative follows her as she pieces together the 'missing jigsaw pieces' of her life, navigating family history, childhood beliefs, misdiagnoses, and ultimately finding the support that changed her life.

Shooting inside Evanston Hospital ER leaves security guard wounded, suspect in custody: police
The Brief A 28-year-old man fired multiple rounds inside Evanston Hospital's emergency room Thursday night, injuring a security officer, police said. The man had been transported to the hospital by a CARE Team after being found near a Taco Bell in downtown Evanston. Hospital staff and security restrained the man until police arrived; the ER remains on lockdown, but there is no ongoing threat. EVANSTON, Ill. - A shooting inside the emergency room at Evanston Hospital Thursday evening left a hospital security guard wounded and a man in custody, according to police. What we know Just before 7:30 p.m., members of Evanston's Crisis Alternative Response Evanston (CARE) Team encountered a 28-year-old Evanston man near a Taco Bell in the 1700 block of Sherman Avenue. Authorities said the man appeared to be experiencing a mental health crisis and agreed to be evaluated by paramedics, who transported him to Evanston Hospital. Once inside the emergency room, police said the man became agitated during the intake process, prompting hospital security to intervene. He then reportedly lunged toward his belongings, retrieved a weapon and fired several rounds inside the ER shortly before 8 p.m. A security officer was struck and sustained injuries that were not life-threatening, police said. Other hospital staff and security personnel were able to restrain the suspect until Evanston police arrived and took him into custody. What they're saying "A shooting occurred in the emergency room at Evanston Hospital this evening. The individual was quickly apprehended and taken into custody. There is no active threat. The safety of our patients and team members is our top priority," a spokesperson for Endeavor Health said. What's next The emergency room remains on lockdown as a large police presence continues in and around the facility. Authorities said there is no ongoing threat to the public. This is a developing story and we'll bring more updates as they become available.

210-Day Flood Health Risks: What Doctors Must Know
Flood exposure is linked to increased risks for hospitalisation for all causes and for 10 specific conditions, with relative risks ranging from 1.11 to 1.61 and persisting for up to 210 days. An analysis of 300 million hospitalisation records from 747 communities in eight countries and territories showed that floods accounted for as much as 0.27% of all-cause admissions. Background Floods are the most frequent natural disaster, with approximately 23% of the global population exposed to floods with depths > 0.15 m during once-in-100-year flood events. Projections indicate that the severity, duration, and frequency of floods will escalate due to increasingly frequent extreme precipitation events and rising sea levels caused by global warming. In addition to the direct health impacts caused by the physical force of floods or related accidents, emerging evidence suggests that flooding may have broad indirect effects on human health. Current epidemiologic studies on flood-related health impacts focus primarily on disease incidence, mainly digestive diseases, infectious diseases, and mental disorders. Understanding the impact of flooding on hospitalisation risk is crucial for healthcare providers to prepare for increased demand following such events. METHODOLOGY: Researchers examined daily hospitalisation data from 2000 to 2019 in 747 communities across Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, New Zealand, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam, averaging 13 years of follow-up per community. The analysis included 300 million hospitalisation records, with a flood day defined as any day from the beginning to the end of flood events in each community. Associations between flood days and daily hospitalisation risks were estimated using a quasi-Poisson regression model with a non-linear distributed lag function, followed by a random-effects meta-analysis. TAKEAWAY: The cumulative relative risks [RRs] of hospitalisation after flood exposure were 1.26 (95% CI, 1.15-1.38) for all causes, 1.35 (95% CI, 1.21-1.5) for cardiovascular diseases, and 1.61 (95% CI, 1.39-1.86) for diabetes. Associations were modified by climate type, flood severity, age, population density, and socio-economic status, with stronger effects observed in communities with higher population density or higher socio-economic status. Flood exposure contributed to up to 0.27% of all-cause hospitalisations, 0.41% of cardiovascular disease hospitalisations, and 1.93% of diabetes admissions. Health impacts persisted for up to 210 days after exposure ended, except for infectious diseases (90 days) and mental disorders (150 days). IN PRACTICE: 'Health service providers should anticipate increased health risks during and after floods and prepare for the heightened service demands, possibly through strengthening capacities in medical supplies, human resource management, and triage strategy. Public health institutions should closely monitor the reasons for hospitalisation after floods as a method for disease control and efficient resource allocation in the aftermath of floods. Policymakers should prioritise enhancing health system resilience to natural disasters, recognising that overwhelmed health systems after floods can lead to severe disease burden and even avoidable deaths,' the study authors wrote. SOURCE: The study was led by Yuming Guo, PhD, and Shanshan Li, PhD, of the Climate Air Quality Research Unit, School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, and included Paulo Saldiva, MD, PhD, of the Department of Pathology, School of Medicine, University of São Paulo in São Paulo, Brazil, and was published online on April 08, 2025, in Nature Water. LIMITATIONS: The Dartmouth Flood Observatory dataset, which primarily checks events mentioned in news reports, may under-represent flooding, particularly in South America. The exposure assessment was conducted at the community level rather than at the individual level, as the exact residential addresses were kept confidential. Similarly, a community may have both flooded and non-flooded areas, which has the potential to lead to underestimation of risk. DISCLOSURES: The study was supported by the Australian Research Council, Australian National Health and Medical Research Council, and National Research Council of Thailand. The funders had no role in the study design, collection, analysis, and interpretation of data, writing of the report, or the decision to submit the paper for publication.

The Central Illinois Resource Center's virtual town hall tackles mental health challenges
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — The Central Illinois Resource Center gathered local leaders to discuss ways the community can overcome barriers in the mental health realm during a virtual town hall on Thursday. The Central Illinois Resource Center hosted the town hall to provide healthcare, law enforcement and therapy perspectives. Panelists shared mental health barriers, including knowledge on how conditions work, access to care, and bettering the current mental health care system. Guest speakers included psychotherapist Kate Mills, Robin Henry of Solvera Health and Peoria County Sheriff Chris Watkins. According to the Central Illinois Resource Center, more than 2.1 million adults in Illinois live with a mental health condition. Illinois ranks 29th in access to mental health care in the United States. Mills shared how telehealth has impacted the mental health world. 'I think overall it has increased the accessibility, again to people seeking help for especially things like social anxiety or agoraphobia or things that would typically prevent a person from seeking care outside of their home,' Mills said. 'So telehealth is a really great option, especially for people who maybe are from a different socioeconomic background, who aren't able to drive or get transportation to these services.' She adds that one concern people have when it comes to telehealth is ensuring their privacy. The mission of the Central Illinois Resource Center is to advocate for mental health awareness, address food insecurity and provide essential resources to those in need.
