AB  - For  over  5  decades,  medical  toxicologists  and  poison  information  specialists  have  used  a  clinical  approach  to  poisoned  or  overdosed  patients  that  emphasizes  treating  the  patient  rather  than  treating  the  poison.1  Too  often  in  the  past,  patients  were  initially  all  but  neglected  while  attention  was  focused  on  the  ingredients  listed  on  the  containers  of  the  product(s)  to  which  they  presumably  were  exposed.  Although  the  astute  clinician  must  always  be  prepared  to  administer  a  specific  antidote  immediately  in  instances  when  nothing  else  will  save  a  patient,  such  as  cyanide  poisoning,  all  poisoned  or  overdosed  patients  will  benefit  from  an  organized,  rapid  clinical  management  plan  (Fig.  4–1).
