The number of physicians believing this claim without a reference is astounding.

So important. Good on NEJM for making this open access.

@DocBrownLloyd @realmikefox Keep fighting! I hate this disease. My mother suffered with it for years. We could see it making it harder for her every year.

@DGlaucomflecken “But, I’ve never had a problem before.” Heard that many times. But if you are in your 50’s or 60’s, and haven’t seen a doctor in decades, there many things that have few to no symptoms that can become a problem as we age. Moreover, many medical conditions look alike early on.

In 2023 35% of calls to @MNpoisoncenter involved kids under 6, however, more serious exposures involve teens, adults & older adults.

@RyanMarino Ryan, you are too cynical. I’m sure it comes with herbal meds to soothe the issues it finds.

@LyellJ EMIT urine drug screens have lots of false positive and negative results depending on what is tested and the screen used. Don’t rely on them if as tell all, look at the clinical exam and the presenting toxidrome.

@DGlaucomflecken My biggest argument is that iv contrast for CTs is not the same as Gadolinium for MRIs…🤦🏻‍♂️
