Should we share the management of acute life-threatening medical emergencies on the telephone?
Himmatrao Saluba Bawaskar
Abstract:
Daily, I receive 3–4 social media messages regarding the diagnosis, management or clinical dilemmas of acute timelimiting medical emergencies due to snake bite and scorpion sting poisoning. I respond to the caller who has shared clinical signs and symptoms. I also follow up on the progress of the victim. I send pdf files of my publications on scorpion and snake bite.
