Not Your Mama’s Joint: Today’s Drugs of Abuse
About
Drug use in the United States is prevalent, but how prepared are you to treat more than just your average alcohol intoxication or opioid overdose? This presentation will use common toxidromes and real-life case studies to present cases of drug intoxication beyond what you may see on a day-to-day basis. From new, more powerful forms of marijuana to a common OTC drug, attendees will be armed with knowledge of how to recognize and treat overdoses that are out of the ordinary...samples not included!
