Busy Chicago
Calvin Beauchamps
As for June, the weather in Chicago is typically warm and pleasant, with average high temperatures in the mid-70s Fahrenheit (mid-20s Celsius). June can be a busy month in Chicago due to various events and festivals, including the Chicago Blues Festival and the Chicago Pride Parade. However, with proper planning and avoiding peak tourist times, you can still enjoy a trip to Chicago in June without feeling overwhelmed by crowds.
Most of the least busy stretches of Chicagoland interstates are newer suburban/exurban routes near less densely populated areas, minus the Chicago Skyway, which receives relatively little traffic as a result of the newer expressways providing similar routing without a toll.
According to the INRIX, two stretches of these busy interstates - the I-290, starting from the I-294 to I-90, and the I-90/I94 starting from I-290 to I-294, were among the top 10 Most Congested Roads in the U.S. in 2019. These roads were reported to have caused an average of 14 and 13 minutes in traffic time delays respectively.
Summary: In order to address issues traditionally associated with medication noncompliance, a discharge pharmacy was implemented within a busy urban ED. The pharmacy began processing prescriptions on December 18, 2019, using a formulary aimed towards providing commonly prescribed and high-risk medications. The pharmacy accepts insurance plans in addition to utilizing 340B Drug Pricing Program pricing to offer affordable medications to patients. During the first year of operation 10,230 prescriptions were filled for 5,703 patients, representing 13% of all patients discharged during that time. Of the prescriptions filled, 35.4% were for products considered high-risk medications, including epinephrine auto-injectors, insulin, and antibiotics. Over 50% of these high-risk medications were provided to patients through reduced cash pricing. Pharmacist interventions were made on 4.3% of prescriptions to address incorrect dosing, avoid use of inappropriate antibiotics, and recommend alternative therapies.
By late November the cacophony of the busy river harbor quieted. In winter ice made sailing the inland seas nearly impossible and several hundred ships would tie up in the frozen river. More than 2,500 sailors spent the season idle in the city. A veteran marinersometimes the vessel ownerwould move his family into the cabin and mind the ship for the winter. Wintering vessels were tied up three or four deep, linked by gangways. Postmen delivered the mail each day directly to the vessels. On cold days the young and old alike took to theirskatesand followed the frozen river from one neighborhood to the next.
