Arizona EMCast show

Summary: Happy November everyone! If you're like me, you love Thanksgiving and you start drooling at the sight of turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. However, if that drooling is associated with vomiting, miosis and altered mental status, then someone may have spiked your mashed potatoes. But have no fear because toxicologist extraordinaire, Dr. Frank Walter and his Advanced Hazmat Life Support wisdom is here to save the day from your cholinergic crisis. With tips, tricks and an abundance of compliments, Dr. Walter walks us through a real case of organophosphate toxicity complete with a literature review of the management. So have a second helping of atropine and enjoy this month's episode of AZEMCast.
