Join Dan (@drusyniak) &howard (@heshiegreshie) as they palaver with Dr. Geoff Isbister (@geoff_isbister) about the poison playground that is Australia. Snakes, spiders and quetiapine, oh my! Learn what color of snake to look out for (hint: all of them), learn how Australians do research (on themselves), and why generally leaving your house down under is a terrible idea. So be like an Aussie, have no fear and turn up the volume.
Delicious LinksStrewth, I got into a bingle after chucking a u-e on my way to the bottle o. Coppas and ambos came, blood everywhere. Took me to the A&E, it was chockablock.
Non-bogan / English:Oh no. I was in a car accident, when I was on my way to the liquor establishment. I was performing a U-turn. The police and the paramedics arrived, there was blood all around. I was taken to the ER and it was full.
Australian:G’day ya bastards! Howaaaare youse, awrite? Out in the whoop whoop, if trauma strikes, you’re in the sticks kilometers away from bugger all. With a massive injury, you’d be stuffed if you used outdated technology like the MAST snake. Its pretty flaky mate and is all cracking the shits.
Non-bogan / English:Hello friends. How are you? Good? In the Outback, if trauma strikes, you’re in the remote countryside, quite isolated. With massive trauma, you’d be in trouble if you used outdated technology like the MAST (military anti shock trouser) snake. It’s pretty unreliable and quite frustrating.
Australian:But thanks to your ‘ol cobbers at Witness Protection Products Straya, we have a better way. ReBOA - Resuscitative Extra-Vascular BOA constrictor. She’s a bloody ripper. It’s got a swish design, unlike other devices that have heads like a dropped pie and frankly, I reckon they’ve got a few ‘roos loose in the top paddock. But with ReBOA, she’ll be right mate.
Non-bogan / English:But thanks to your friends at Witness Protection Products Australia, we have a better way. ReBOA. Resuscitative Extravascular BOA constrictor. It’s great. It’s got a nice design, unlike other unattractive devices that I don’t consider sensible. But with ReBOA, it’s going to be fine.
Australian:When you’re flat out like a lizard drinking and need to make sure patients, who are like dog’s breakfast, get a fair suck of the sauce bottle, you don’t want to carry on like a pork chop. ReBOA is an absolute piece of piss. Just take the snake and apply right above the budgie smugglers and let nature do her work. No complications. Just continuous, unremitting abdominal pressure. Is that good or what? Bloody oath!! And its a fair dinkum mate.
Non-bogan / English:When you’re very busy and need to make good decisions for patients that are a mess, you don’t want to be dramatic. The ReBOA is super easy. Just take the snake and apply right above the undies and let nature do her work. No complications. Just continuous, unremitting abdominal pressure. Is that good? The answer is an enthusiastic yes. Honestly.
Australian:In Straya, everything’s out to kill ya, so get the toughest gear around. Don’t be a drongo. REBOA - it’s Aussie for resuscitation.
Non-bogan / English:In Australia, everything’s deadly, so get the best tool for the job. Don’t be a fool. ReBOA - it’s Australian for resuscitation.
Special ThanksWe just want to take a moment to thank you, our listeners, for one year of toxicology fun. This is the last episode of our first season, and we’re thrilled to have you along with us for the ride. As a bit of housekeeping, we’re going to be discontinuing the @dantastictox Twitter handle, and focus our social media efforts on the larger endeavor at The Tox & The Hound.

Excerpted dialog from the months-long marijuana conversation . . .DR - Sweet. Thanks Andrew. This will be a smoking good podcast.
AM - Sounds good. I hadn’t decided on ACMT yet but perhaps this will push me over the edge to go. I’ve got to clear it with my wife and am coming back from DC now so will wait a couple of days to have that discussion, for strategic reasons! Otherwise I get vaporized at home. . .
DR - Understand. Give yourself some time to let the smoke clear.
AH - Was OOT last week too. Worried I’ll get stoned at home if I push it too early.
DR - Yes, wait. You don’t want to get into the weeds on this one.
HG - Thanks Andrew. I find that whenever my wife wants to vaporize me for a blitz of behavior that leaves me fried, a nice baked item brings a sense of mellow. Look forward to talking with you, ACMT or not.
AM - She gets green with envy when I travel too much.
HG - She’s jealous that you are a toke-n ganjapreneur. Alright. I’m wrecked.
AM - Alright, these double entendres are way too low bar. Like CBD low. We’ll need to raise the bar for this podcast. Cannabis Cup level. Much higher.
KH - And I expect we will have relive these all on Twitter when the podcast drops...
AM - Hey guys. I’m just updating you that I won’t be at ACMT after all. Hopefully that will save you the extra podcast baggage, at least. Should I keep a block of time free on 4/20 or do you want to pre-record it? Figured we should hash it out before schedules get too tight. . .
DR - Bummer dude. Howard was hoping to say high. We don’t record live so will need to schedule this month. Are their daze that work better for you. This will be a smoking podcast.
KH - Please stop. All these puns are going to give me hyperemesis...
AM - Take a hot shower and settle down, Kennon. OK, I'm available. Just let me know what works. Is this a joint session or am I going dolo?
HG - Don’t harsh on it, bud. It’ll all be mellow. I could do whichever daze sparks your interest.
KH - I just wish you guys could hash this out like adults
A very special episode, on this First Day of April. We want to welcome you to our new endeavor!
Rabid Toxicologists are FOAMing at the mouth to launch their blogAs medical toxicologists we have sat, laid down, and rolled over, as other medical professionals have dominated FOAMtox and social media. We know that you are begging for toxicology content. We know that the contributions we have individually made over the years are only scratching at the surface. We know this is our territory and it is time we mark it. That is why we are unleashing The Tox and The Hound. We’re collectively taking all of those meaty toxicology bones we have squirreled away over the years and dropping them at the feet of the FOAM community. As you can see, our pack has some of brightest toxicology minds in the country. Each week our hounds will sniff out the toxicology controversies. We will dig up the issues buried in the literature. We will fetch those topics that we have been itching to tackle. We have been slobbering to do this.
But we need you, our loyal friends. We don’t want to be nosey, but we want to know what you, the reader, thinks. Let us know what you would like us to sink our teeth into. Hound us. We will do our best to be obedient. But, be patient. It is going to take some training. There will be accidents along the way. But with your help we can get over the hump and become The Big Dog in FOAMtox. Feeling friendly? You know how we like to say hi.
Who’s a good dog? We are!
Join Dan (@drusyniak) &howard (@heshiegreshie) as they prevent medical errors with Nadia Awad (@Nadia_EMPharmD). Learn why pharmacists are an indispensable part of any medical team, and explore the world of FOAM. Plus, a new segment, DanRants™.
