In this eye-opening episode of Hope and Will: A Parenting Podcast from Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, we dive into the hidden—yet very serious—dangers of button battery ingestion. Laura Johnson, mom of two, shares the harrowing experience that ensued after her son swallowed a battery that became dislodged from a remote control. We then hear from Dr. Matthew Santore, a pediatric surgeon who serves as Medical Director for Trauma Outcomes at Children’s, who has personally treated more than 100 cases of swallowed batteries. Dr. Santore provides insights into why these incidents are so dangerous, symptoms to watch for and the importance of seeking medical help as quickly as possible. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver or simply someone who wants to keep kids safe, this episode is a must-listen.For more about this episode and our podcast, visit www.choa.org/podcasts.Follow Children’s:Instagram @childrensatlFacebook @ChildrensHealthcareofAtlantaX @childrensatlFollow Strong4Life:Instagram @wearestrong4lifeFacebook @S4LGAX @childrensatlCreated by Children’s Healthcare of Atlantawww.choa.orgThis podcast is for general informational and educational purposes only.
