drug and poison book

This was a gift for my son who's an emergency department resident. He requested it and was very pleased when he received it.

Olson, Poisoning and Drug Overdose 5th Edition

I'm a certified specialist in poison information (CSPI). We use Olson daily in our job. Also use it as a text for studying for our boards. Great book. Set up for easy research. Concise info. Like to use this info when discussing treatment options with physicians. I purchased this as graduation gift for my son-in-law who just graduated with degree in nursing. Will be helpful for him working in psych nursing.

Great reference for internists/ER

I have the previous edition, but still use it all the time when I'm in the ER/wards. It covers just about everything, and has just enough background pathophys, management guidelines, and easy to find what you're looking for. I highly recommend this book for anyone doing a toxicology rotation or who will work in an ER and see acute poisonings/ingestions.

Good

This is a good book for those who are taking a toxicology course or working at a poison control center as a reference.
