		This holiday season, if you catch a buzz, catch a ride. December is National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month. Americans who drink and drive after holiday parties and festivities make the period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s one of the year’s most deadly and dangerous seasons due to alcohol-related crashes.

News You Can Use Right Now
Is your skin all dried out? Then try this: Get into a bathtub and soak for 25 minutes, but don't use any soap. Just before you get out, use a moisturizing bath bar. Pat dry and apply a moisturizing cream or lotion all over your skin. (The cream seals in the water left over from your bath and keeps the dryness out.)

Like to hear what our patients are saying?
“My son Nick had struggled with atopic dermatitis for 2 years. The treatment ladder program with light treatments Dr. Crutchfield recommended for him was just amazing. He is much more comfortable, sleeps better, and does much better in school. He still has flare-ups, but they are much less severe and short-lived. I am so happy that we went to see Dr. Crutchfield.”

Want to hear a joke?
Bubba's sister is pregnant and is in a bad car accident, which causes her to fall into a deep coma. After nearly six months, she awakens and sees that she is no longer pregnant. Frantically, she asks the doctor about her baby.

The doctor replies: "Ma'am, you had twins - a boy and a girl. The babies are fine. Your brother came in and named them."

The woman thinks to herself, "Oh, no! Not Bubba, he's an idiot!” Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor: "Well, what's the girl's name?"

"Denise," the doctor answers.

The new mother thinks, "Wow! That's a beautiful name, I guess I was wrong about my brother. I really like the name Denise."

Then she asks the doctor: "What's the boy's name?"

The doctor replies: "Denephew."
