Teenager Charged as Adult, Centrist Groups Urge Dems to Vote, Informed Consent for Anesthesia, Rising Need for Emergency Service Workers

A teenager will be charged as an adult after a mass shooting in downtown Indianapolis last weekend. Billboards from a political centrist group are urging Hoosier Democrats to vote in this year’s Republican primary. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently released guidance requiring informed consent for pelvic, breast, prostate or rectal exams under anesthesia. State officials are sounding the alarm on a rising need for emergency service workers, as call volume escalated from 2019 to 2022.
