Abstract
One of the most common reasons for reference of patients to the emergency department or sending them to high level specialized centers is poisoning. The treatment of these patients requires special scientific and practical skills, that in the absence of skilled staff necessary to perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures the mortality and morbidity rate of these patients will be greatly increased. This study is a case report of a patient death cases of poisoning after staying in one of the health centers in Iran due to lack of medical staff and unfamiliarity physicians with properly managing the poisoning patients.
