Just Plain Ruff Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I have a couple of books that I'm either gonna throw away or just give to goodwill. I tried to post this last week but my computer konked out on me. So here goes again They are (and I'm going by memory) 1. PEPP book 2. A recent ITLS book 3. At least one EMT textbook(3-4 years old - probaby hasn't changed much in that time) I'm offering them to the winners of this contest question. What are the top 10 poisonings/overdoses that Emergency Departments are seeing in the past 5 years. I have a specific web site I am taking these from and it's very well respected so the list I have is the list we will use. I will pay all shipping charges. contest ends Friday night at midnight. Bonus prize if you get all 10. (not telling what it is but it's nice) Time starts now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sorry, couldn't really come up with 10!!) --Wendy Since you were the only one who participated I'll send you all three books and the bonus. PM Me your address For the record, the website I used was a link from Medline called One Pill Deadly Ingestions http://reference.medscape.com/features/slideshow/deadly-ingestions?src=mp I misread the medline reference, I thought these were the top 10 most seen poisonings but they in reality are the top 13 medications which cause the most deaths and negative outcomes. Here are the top 10 list Oral hypoglycemics Beta Blockers Calcium Channel Blockers Alpha 2-Adrenergic agents Cyclic Anti-depressants Opioids Buprenorphium Lperamide-Diphenoxylate Salicylate Quinine and Quinidine Camphor Podophyllin and Colchicine Acetylcholenesterase Inhibitors I have to add Acetaminophen as to the liver damage. Thanks for playing Wendy. Doc, I waited for your list but it never came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Plain Ruff Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 You misread it??? I spent over an hour searching the net for that. You turd, lol. Yeah, sorry bout that. But you could have put a list together and sent it to me, at least you would have been one of those who got a prize. I guess this is the perfect time to kill the messenger. ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
