Description
Summary:Kasuske et al present a medical condition of two Marines with generalized seizure activity. They detail here how they responded these emergency cases and compare both the similarities and differences of their case. Accordingly, following ED stabilization, patient 1 was admitted to the ICU for further evaluation and observation. Patient 2 was transferred to a general medicine floor. Kasuske et al further note that these cases emphasize the point that, when findings just do not add up and the clinical picture does not make sense, thinking of toxicology is vital.
