#''I have had e few patients with drug toxicity, specifically to immunosuppressives. This is not iatrogenic, nor an overdose, nor an allergic reaction. Do you think having a specific code for drug toxicity in the Poison Section would be of benefit?'' [[User:FLindell|FLindell]] 17:06, 18 August 2008 (CDT)
