In part 3 of our safety series, we are discussing accidental ingestions with a focus on button batteries and magnets. We are joined by Dr. Minna Wieck, a pediatric surgeon with UC Davis. We review which toys and objects are highest risk for kids, what to do if you suspect your child has ingested a foreign body and the surgeon’s role in treating and preventing these devastating accidents.

 We thank Dr. Minna Wieck for joining us on this episode of Kids Considered but Drs Lena & Dean take responsibility for any errors or misinformation.
