It was a good course overall, however it was quite boring in the middle, few grewsome details were missed as well.
-
This is a very good course especially to health care providers who come across cases of poisoning from different sources and drugs. Good knowledge about toxicology helps in identifying the right treatment and prevention options.For examples not every poisoning case may require gastric lavage and not every case of poisoning will require an antidote.More over some antidotes are specific for example antidote in lead poisoning can not begin given in salicylate poisoning.Hence the data and knowledge in this course prepares toxicologist to be equipped with technical know how's in managing cases relating to drug poisoning.
