Monday, January 11, 2010 at 02:44AM Street Drug Contaminants This Week on the MedicCast
The MedicCast
Providers attend to patients on substance abuse from time to time. What they are not usually aware of are the chemicals or medications added to the drugs. These contaminants may or may not affect the physical characteristics or the taste of the drug so it would be difficult for the provider or even the user to know what's in it. Learn more about street drug contaminants, effects of these contaminants and emergency management of toxicity in this week's episode of the MedicCast, an interview episode with toxicology expert Lisa Booze. Also in the show are EMS in the news and links for future reference.
