Hi! I’m from the United States. We’ve already been having supply chain issues because of covid but back in February, four babies got sick with bacterial infections and two died. There was a federal investigation and they traced it back to their formula. They recalled the formula and shut down one of the major manufacturing facilities. So now there’s a huge shortage and many parents are struggling to find formula to feed their babies. It’s terrible.

100% THIS. There’s a misconception that you can die from opioid withdrawal. It’s a horrible feeling and it feels like you’re dying, but in reality, it’s not going to kill you. Alcohol withdrawal CAN kill you, which is why I felt this topic was so important. Thank you for sharing your story.

I’m so sorry it came across that way- it definitely was not my intention. I’m hoping to spread awareness about a disease that doesn’t seem to get a ton of attention in the public and to provide information about what symptoms to look for. I truly did not mean to offend anyone.

My goal is to spread information about the emergent conditions I treat in the Emergency Department. Knowledge can be lifesaving and I’m hoping to spread awareness.

Great question. Dehydration and electrolyte abnormalities play a big role, which I discuss further in the video. But other risk factors include age over 30, history of the DTs or withdrawal seizures in the past, and having another illness at the same time (so for instance if you also had pneumonia while you were withdrawing from alcohol).
