Matthew Perry Ketamine overdose
According to the toxicologist, he had “general anesthetic” levels of ketamine in his blood and that trace amounts were found in his stomach, however his last infusion was 1.5 weeks prior. So did he overdose on oral ketamine??? Also therapeutic levels of buprenorphine found.
Curious to hear your thoughts. I personally view oral ketamine and buprenorphine a rather benign combination as far as accidental overdose risk goes. So tragic. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Maintaining knowldge
Hey all,
Ive been out of residency for a year, just working in the community, 15-20shifts a month- never had any issues. I started studying for oral boards and I realized I forgot medicine. I did not remember iron overdose is treated by deferoxamine or indications. Did not remember all the meds needed to be given in acute angle glaucoma...both of those easily looked up and helped with Poison Control/Optho. Am I a bad doctor? I went to a good residency, I feel more than prepared, this is...

Covid exposure
So I was called to intubated a patient in the middle of the night, 30 something, obese, found unresponsive, ED tried unsuccessfully, I go down and do intubation while CPR is paused.

I had assumed it was an overdose or something, I ask the ED people after I leave they say no, asthma attack. I ask them to test for Covid.
