"I was sent to this doctor by a third party workers comp company called Broadspire. Broadspire is trying to disprove that I could have gotten stage 1 kidney disease after being exposed to chemicals for four straight days in a closed office environment. This doctor's report was so biased and had the audacity to state that I could not have gotten sick with the 4 day exposure to chemicals without even knowing any of the chemicals used. I told him I could look it up on my phone really quick and firmly opposed. At the appointment, he did not allow me to give any of my blood work that showed I have never had any problems with my kidneys, even blood work 3 weeks prior. This is the exact blood work I had given to the 3rd party workers comp company (who also felt that this blood work was not of importance?) . If you are looking for a doctor who truly practices with integrity, this is not the one. "

What is Medical Toxicology?

Medical toxicology is an area of medicine that diagnoses and treats poisoned people. Medical toxicologists operate in diverse sectors of medicine and treat poisons that threaten patient health. Some medical toxicologists may provide services in emergency rooms; others may direct poison control centers, while still others will conduct research for pharmaceutical drug development.

Circumstances which may require a medical toxicologist include, but are not limited to:

Unintentional medication overdose
Substance abuse and overdose
Exposure to hazardous chemicals or radiation
Envenomations (venom injection, such as from spider or snake bite)
Ingestion of toxic materials
Adverse drug reaction

When evaluating a poisoned patient, a medical toxicologist considers the patient's age, physical size, symptoms, and amount of toxic substance consumed. If a sample of the ingested substance is available, a medical toxicologist can order a test of the sample to determine its concentration and toxicity.

Toxins that are ingested may require gastrointestinal decontamination to clear the digestive system. Gastrointestinal decontamination procedures include orogastric lavage (stomach pump), activated charcoal, or whole-bowel irrigation (electrolyte solution flush).

Medical toxicologists may prescribe an antidote to counteract poisoning from other types of toxic exposure. One example is naloxone (also known as Narcan), which is administered via injection or through an inhaler, to treat opioid overdoses. Antivenoms are used as antidotes for venomous bites or stings. Antivenoms are produced by injecting venom into an animal (such as a horse or sheep), who reacts to the venom by creating antibodies. Antibodies are then safely collected from the animal and purified into an injectable antivenom treatment.

For long-term exposure to dangerous industrial chemicals (such as insecticides or mercury), an immediate remedy or antidote may not exist.
