| Description: | 09:00:25:- MS's and CU's of Dr. Leikin and Mike Lukas in the Rush Poison Control Center e-room, talking about how a doctor can tell how long someone has been taking illicit drugs based upon the length of a hair follicle. They discuss caffeine, mickeys (what happens when someone is slipped a mickey, date rape drugs (the modern mickey), blood pressure, if chocolate is good for you, why the body needs iron and whether or not the iron flakes in breakfast cereals are healthy, and how to counter situations of iron poisoning. 09:11:01:- More of the same. They discuss the best way of introducing iron to the blood stream, what is in Queen Elizabeth's purse, how foot odor is caused, if odor eating socks work, the effects of hot tar on the body (as in being tarred and feathered), and heat stroke (how it happens & why). 09:18:42:- The good doctor shows an e-wall tube, an long tube-like thing that is placed in the esophagus and used to suck out pellets or pills or hardened poison from a person's stomach. They discuss smoke inhalation (how one dies from carbon monoxide poisoning or cyanide), what happens when one gets struck by lightning (types of burns, ruptured eardrums, GI tract failure), what happens to drowning victims (asphixia, swelling--including the scrotum (!), bloating) and why alcohol is put on an area that is about to be injected. | |
