Presentation 1: Emergency departments often encounter patients presenting for accidental ingestions -- the consumption of a harmful substance such as a household chemical or medication. Providers use discretion to determine whether these ingestions signal a need for Child Protective Services evaluation. Drs. Cator and Cheng examine whether bias impacts their decision making in the Mott Hospital Emergency Department.
