  1. Avoid container transfer. Some of the most devastating poisonings occur when toxic products are poured into food or beverage containers, then mistaken for food or drink.

To add on to this, it's super important to keep chemicals in their original packaging, so you actually KNOW WHAT THEY ARE. Original packaging will have every single ingredient listed, which is necessary for poison control to help you. If you've got an old pickle jar with yellow fluid under your sink, and your kid thinks it's lemonade and drinks it, you may not even remember exactly what it is, making it much harder to help. They taught us this in pre-natal parenting classes. Keep chemicals in original containers!

It's a place where transplant patients and donors come to ask questions and share their experiences. Most people don't personally know someone who has had an organ transplant, so when you find yourself in need of one, getting information from somebody who has been in your shoes is much more comforting than the clinical ways in which doctors often communicate.

This makes me happy, in a small way, to think that he really got to see before he left us, through his AMA, just how impactful his life was to so many of us who stood to gain nothing by saying so.
