ResumoA 26-year-old woman presented to the emergency department by ambulance at 2:30 in the morning. Upon returning home from a party that evening, family members noted that the patient was confused and intermittently unresponsive. A fellow party-goer had witnessed the woman dancing, drinking large quantities of water, and consuming what were assumed to be ecstasy tablets. Approximate time of ingestion was 10:30 pm. There was no history of alcohol or other illicit drug use. Colleen Claffey is Nurse Educator, Emergency Department, Jackson North Medical Center, North Miami Beach, FL.
