Actor and comedian Chris Kattan was arrested early Monday in Encino on suspicion of driving under the influence, authorities said.

Officers responded after a woman called 911 to report a Mercedes-Benz was weaving and driving at a slow rate of speed, the CHP said.

There’s an opioid epidemic going on right now, and your hospital can either get ahead of the problem, or wait until it shows up in your emergency department.
Of course, this is nothing new. But the epidemic seems all the more profound with last week’s death of Academy Award-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. Reportedly, after years of sobriety, Hoffman developed a reliance on prescription pills that spiraled into a relapse of heroin use. Such instances are growing in frequency, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services recently took note of the trend. A rule proposed by CMS last month would impose stricter guidelines for docs, punishable by the revocation of their enrollment in Medicare for overprescribing of opioids and other drugs. (For more on overprescribing, you can also check out Emily Friedman’s provocative piece from last week’s H&HN Daily).

At around 11am on Sunday, the 46-year-old Oscar-winner was found dead in his $10,000 a month West Village apartment with a hypodermic needle sticking out of his left arm. He was surrounded by 70 bags of heroin and 20 used syringes.
