FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Amazing REAL Cases from the Poison Detective!

New York, New York, Manhattan, USA, March 1, 2017

Medical Toxicology: Antidotes and Anecdotes is published and available.

Poison Information Specialists are trained to answer a variety of clinical problems over the phone, and on most days, they’ve handled these types of exposures countless times before. But what happens when a call comes in about 40 kids who have turned blue-- all at the same time? What about murder in the ICU? Soda bubbles in the toilet water? Find out how Steven Marcus, M.D., cracks the case. Inspired by Berton Roueché’s award-winning tales in The Medical Detectives, Marcus discusses cases that were called into the New Jersey Poison Information and Education line over the course of his distinguished career. A collection of challenging and unusual reports from the author's extensive experience as a medical toxicologist, these stories demonstrate medical problem solving and differential diagnosis in action from the perspective of an experienced clinician. Dr. Marcus says, “I suppose all we can do is be vigilant and hope that if we become sick, there will be a knowledgeable physician to make the diagnosis.”

With over thirty years practicing in medical, clinical, and forensic toxicology, Marcus recounts medical puzzles from his career that he sought to piece together, saving lives. Exact and informative, he pairs each mystery with its scientific explanation. This book is an essential clinical text for practicing physicians, toxicologists, poison control specialists, medical examiners and coroners. It also serves as a supplementary learning text for graduate students or those at an early stage in their professional career and a good read for any would-be medical detective.

Dr. Marcus is the former Executive Director of the New Jersey Poison Information and Education System, Emeritus Professor of the Department of Emergency Medicine and Emeritus Associate Professor of the Department of Pediatrics at Rutgers, New Jersey Medical School.
