Life in the balance: emergency medicine and the quest to reverse sudden death. 1997; Oxford University Press. <betterworldbooks> One of the earliest and most graphic accounts of resuscitation by tobacco enema dates from 1746. A man’s wife was pulled from the water apparently dead. Amid much conflicting advice, a passing sailor proffered his pipe and instructed the husband to insert the stem into his wife’s rectum, cover the bowl with a piece of perforated paper, and “blow hard”. Miraculously, the woman revived. - Lawrence, G. Tobac...

Dr. Michael Shannon, chief of emergency medicine at Children’s Hospital in Boston and a specialist in lead poisoning, says this about the dangers of over-the-counter—”do it yourself”—chelators: Chelation is sometimes necessary to treat severe cases of metal poisoning, but it’s “shocking and worrisome” that such pro...

I still have this terrible pain in my right side, and it feels exactly like a kidney stone, but the urologist said today that my kidneys looked good and that the pain was not coming from there. Two weekends ago, I went to the urgent care facility because of this pain and they did a CT scan. The doctor there was a bit wishy-washy and told me that there was a stone in the kidney but there shouldn’t be any pain. He diagnosed me with a kidney stone, gave me a prescription for the pain and sent me on my way. And as usual, I left and then thought of all the questions that I should have asked, for example, how big was the stone? They said that there was blood in my urine and thought that one might have already passed. But the pain kept up, so on Friday I...
