This episode comes all the way from a very snowy Northern Sweden. 

I was at the European School of Internal Medicine - Winter School, and was very fortunate to meet Dr Fraz Mir, a Consultant Physician in Acute Medicine and Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge, UK. He is also an Affiliated Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine, University of Cambridge.

In this episode we discuss a case of an individual presenting to hospital after taking an overdose.
