Popular poisons Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)
A patient once rang me to say
Select
this
the
a
an
that
his son had swallowed
Select
this
the
a
an
that
small battery which had been taken out of his camcorder. What would happen? I was defeated.
I had to ring
Select
this
the
a
an
that
nearest hospital, where antidotes for poisons are in
Select
this
the
a
an
that
hands of
Select
this
the
a
an
that
expert. There was
Select
this
the
a
an
that
possibility
Select
this
the
a
an
that
Select
this
the
a
an
that
battery might cause
Select
this
the
a
an
that
obstruction in
Select
this
the
a
an
that
lad's bowel; but
Select
this
the
a
an
that
was unlikely.
Children can swallow
Select
this
the
a
an
that
extraordinarily large variety of solid objects - coins and even brooches and chunks of modelling plaster.
Usually, one's advice is to wait and watch. But
Select
this
the
a
an
that
real problem in
Select
this
the
a
an
that
above case was whether
Select
this
the
a
an
that
battery contained any rare poisons. It did - over
Select
this
the
a
an
that
dozen. However, there are many far more common poisons which occasionally even grown-ups swallow as well as youngsters.
There are several reasons for
Select
this
the
a
an
that
increase in accidental poisoning.
Firstly, tablets which adults can take in safety are left where children - who can't take them safely - can get to them.
In addition, children don't bother about
Select
this
the
a
an
that
dose. If
Select
this
the
a
an
that
tablets are pretty and sugary, as is often
Select
this
the
a
an
that
case, they will swallow
Select
this
the
a
an
that
dozen or more.
So all medicines should be kept in
Select
this
the
a
an
that
very safe place; and
Select
this
the
a
an
that
cupboard out of reach is not always safe. Children are crafty, and they can get up on chairs and reach
Select
this
the
a
an
that
most impossible places.
In addition, patients do tend to keep tablets and liquids far too long after
Select
this
the
a
an
that
need for them has gone. There's
Select
this
the
a
an
that
common idea
Select
this
the
a
an
that
- like many other things some of us tend to keep - these tablets "may come in useful".
