Clinical Toxicology
Clinical Toxicology is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating patients who have been exposed to harmful substances, such as drugs, chemicals, or poisons. It involves understanding the effects of these substances on the body and determining the best course of action for treatment.
Professionals in this field often work in emergency departments or poison control centers, where they assess the severity of exposure and provide appropriate interventions. They may use various methods, including antidotes, activated charcoal, and supportive care, to help patients recover from toxic exposures.
