PY - 2019 T2 - Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies, 11e AB - Galen, an influential physician from the second century, remarked of his clinical trial, “All who drink of this remedy recover in a short time, except those whom it does not help, who all die. Therefore, it is obvious that it fails only in incurable cases.” Unfortunately, error in contemporary clinical investigation of poisoning tends to be more insidious than the error in logic in Galen’s conclusion, and skillful scrutiny of published research remains an important endeavor.
