A critical update and evaluation of recent scientific literature, news stories, and cultural events related to the field of medical toxicology.The TPR Podcast is produced jointly by The Poison Review blog, and the Division of Toxicology, Department of Emergency Medicine at the John H. Stroger, Jr Hospital of Cook County (formerly Cook County Hospital). The goal is to provide a regular forum for discussion of issues involving issues of toxicology in clinical medicine, in culture, and in history. We plan to feature reviews of important and relevant medical literature, coverage of toxicology in the news, and some of our favorite examples of drugs and poisons in popular songs.
