Hey Dr. K Thanksgiving

Hey Dr. K- How Can I Stay Out of the ER This Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is a busy time for emergency rooms, with some sources reporting an estimated 36,000 visits on Thanksgiving Day in one year. Statistics and doctor estimates suggest ER visits can spike by 5-12% during the holiday period, due to issues like food poisoning, alcohol-related incidents, burns, cuts, and an increase in other seasonal illnesses like the flu.

Harris County Medical Director Dr. Jay Kovar explains in this month’s “Hey Dr. K” video series how to avoid the common problems he sees in ERs during the holidays for people and their pets. 

“This month we partnered with Cypress Creek Fire Department to address not just the common food borne illnesses and cuts we see in the ER every year but also the burn-related injuries caused by the increasing popularity of frying turkeys,” says Dr. Kovar.  “We also address common gastrointestinal poisoning veterinary ERs see from people who feed pets from the table.  Keep your entire family safe this year and watch this video.”

Harris County ESD 11 to Host Free Car Seat Safety Check

Child Passenger Safety Technicians Ensure Seats are Properly Installed

Spring, Tx. November 3, 2025: Harris County ESD 11 Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs) will be educating families on the proper installation and usage of car seats Friday November 14th from 10:00 AM to 12:00.  The event will be held at the Harris County ESD 11 campus at 18334 Stuebner Airline Road in Spring.   

“Car crashes are a leading cause of death for children in the United States and according to the National Highway Safety Administration, 43% of children killed in car crashes in 2023 were unrestrained with an estimated 46% of all car seats misused,” says Harris County ESD 11 CEO Jordan Anderson.  “Those statistics are terrifying but at the same time its estimated 300 children under 5 were saved by their car seats.  As first responders all too often we unfortunately treat children in car crashes.  We want to do what we can ahead of time to make sure car seats are as safe as they can be.”  

Harris County ESD 11 is partnering with CPSTs from Safe Kids of Greater Houston, Texas Children’s Hospital and Save a Life to serve as many families as possible during the event. Participants are requested to book an appointment online ahead of time.
