Development and Deployment<br />
This case was developed for a widely subscribed fourth year medical school elective (emergency<br />
medicine/transition to internship), and has been used in this course over several years as part of an<br />
instructional toxicology module. It has also been adapted for use as part of a graduate-level science<br />
course (college, PhD students).<br />
