The nights–and days–are perilously busy at emergency rooms everywhere. Overburdened, understaffed and glutted with patients suffering minor ailments, ERs themselves have become prime victims of the nation’s health-care problems. As more Americans with little or no insurance use them in place of family physicians, and more facilities hemorrhage money from unreimbursable care, hospitals are desperate to find ways to treat true trauma cases and still serve those patients who have nowhere else to go....

Prosecutors said that Robinson used more than $600,000 of the grant money from 2015 through 2019 to pay for personal expenses including her wedding and honeymoon, a 2016 Jeep Renegade for her daughter, travel expenses for her family and an event for her state Senate campaign....

The Steelers (2-4) shocked many with a solid performance as they posted just their second win of the season. After a scary hit knocked Steelers’ quarterback Mason Rudolph out of last week’s game, Pittsburgh were forced to turn to Devlin Hodges to line up under center. The undrafted rookie out of Samford performed admirably, completing 15 of 20 throws for 132 yards, one touchdown and one interception. With the loss, the Chargers fell to 2-4 and are off to a disappointing start after many experts pegged them as contenders in the AFC before the start of the season....
