Episode overview

About This Episode

Spooky season has officially hit Life & Sirens, and we’re starting October with something that can be a whole lot scarier than ghosts: the poisoned patient.

This week, Sophie is flying solo and diving into toxicology in EMS—recognizing toxidromes, finding the clues when nobody knows what the patient took, understanding the physiology behind common poisons, and knowing when an antidote is only part of the answer.

Because sometimes the scariest patient isn’t covered in blood.

Sometimes they’re just lying there… and something you can’t see is killing them. 👻

Stick around for a mystery poisoning scenario and pop quiz at the end.

🎃 Happy spooky season. Let’s talk poison.
