This episode takes us back to the basics of toxic ingestions and poisonings to review the topic of toxidromes. Why do we look for specific patterns in poisonings and what are we looking for? Dr. Patrick and podcast toxicology expert, Dr. Jerry Snow, will take us through the major toxidrome groups and you’ll come out on the other side ready to sort through your next undifferentiated overdose patient.
