Poison Control Centers are a relic of the pre-computer age. Your average paramedics PDA or Iphone has just as much information stored on it as the average poison control center’s stack of books. Timely and frequently updated as well!

You can get First Aid info on 411 or the Internet. Government's role in life-saving is redundant.

I might get a nice design job from the California African American Museum if it gets funded. But, I’d rather the State gets it act together if that’s what it takes.

And yet illegals are still getting MediCal, and bio-engineering firms are still getting corporate welfare to market stem cell products, and a $50 billion train between LA and SF is still being built, and taxes are still forcing employers out of state...

residents have no choice but to go directly to an Emergency Department or call 911," according to a CPCS statement.

Exactly how many California residents keep this phone number posted in their homes?

They call 911.

On the plus side, California is already the only state with Prop 65 warning labels on every surface.

Aren’t those sufficient to prevent accidental poisonings?
