it is getting HOT out there folks so please remember that doing cocaine in this weather is not a great idea
the figure below is from a 1998 paper where they saw that higher temperatures outside were associated with an increase in deaths from cocaine overdoses

Itās really hot out. Weāre starting to see some hyperthermia/heat stroke cases, so hereās a reminder from your friendly neighborhood toxicologist:
š„Get a *core* temperature
š„Dunk your patients in ice water
š„Cool as quickly as possible to avoid rhabdo, renal failure, and DIC
Kudos to @joshb107 and @MarkKSuMD1 for this important Health Announcement on poppers (alkyl nitrite). Learn how to recognize and manage at the link!

Case report you'll never see in print:
I decided not to give an experimental antidote and the patient got better anyway.

Welcome back to the NYCPCC @sarah_mahonski! Amazing deep dive into NMS during our monthly Grand Rounds.
Are you an NYC doc on shift in the ED today? Itās much warmer #NYCMARATHON weather than usual. Remember to check your runner patients for hyperthermia (core temps!) and cool in an ice water bath.
On a lighter note, happy birthday and good luck to @MarkKSuMD1! Eat some cake after you finish!
