For the first time in her 10-year career, Dr. Lindsay Clukies is admitting toddlers into the hospital and even the intensive care unit for accidentally eating products infused with cannabis.
“We are asking right off the bat in a neutral and supportive way: ‘Do you have THC-containing products in your home?’ Because it’s so common, it’s at the top of our differential (diagnosis) if we see a child who isn’t acting right,” said Clukies, a Washington University pediatric emergency physician at St.Louis Children’s Hospital.
