Managing Toxicological Emergencies Made Ridiculously Funny for Doctors. Foreword written by World Famous Toxicologist Dr Vijay Vasudev Pillay, Professor,Chief-Poison Control Centre, AIMS,Kochi

      Аннотация: Although Humour is used in this book to highlight toxic drugs & their typical signs & symptoms, diagnostic findings, mechanism of action, contraindications & complications in toxicological emergencies due to drugs & medications, it is not our intent to laugh at people suffering from drug toxicity. Because we know that a good laugh eases tension, increases creativity, we will do almost anything to get the reader rolling with laughter, word inflections, exaggerated facial expressions and drawings, hilarious personal stories about most toxic drugs (of which we have way too many), ridiculous examples and we encourage our students to do the same. On the contrary, we hope that reading this book with comic pictures about drug related toxicity, will enable you to help & remember about typical toxic symptoms in easier way by funny images with comic like stories in each case of overdose, and its related complications. Drugs safety & toxicity profile of all the scheduled drugs have been described in humorous manner as told in cartoon comics in our childhood days, to keep the reader interested in going through each drug related toxicological emergencies, using comic book superheroes & villains
