I Got the Poison, I Got the Remedy
I started my rotation today doing an elective in UCSD’s Poison Control unit (“Toxicology”), which the Governator planned to eliminate to avoid increasing the car registration fees he slashed as part of his quid pro quo during the recall election. Anyway, discussion highlights today included poisonous box jellyfish, weird fish, when is a “spider bite” really a spider bite (“almost never”), and how dodgy is it to eat fish bought in the afternoon rather than the morning (“very”).
