The husband of a woman I know must have had this, they didn't put a name to it, but he was deathly ill, unrecognisable in his photos, and it was r/t Prilosec. Next time I see her, I'll ask if she knows the name of it.

He is fine, now.

ADHD drugs?? Prilosec?! This blows my mind! The short time I did Burn I saw two cases of TENS. One from Gent and the other from Dilantin. Both expired.

Two of our seven cases were from NSAID's:eek!

We had one lass seemed to be a combination of S-J and meningococcaemia - one of thoses cases where you do not know if you have done the right thing - bilateral BKA no fingers scarred and near blind but a teenager so what do you do but try.

I have one right now from Levaquin. They won't put her on a burn unit or icu. She's on a medical floor

we tend to see the outlying hospitals keep them too long, either because it takes forever for them to figure out what is going on, or because they think they can handle it, then when they get to us it can be bad! I had heard that there were some levaquin cases. . . .
