Seems pretty straightforward but something about the abruptness of the way she face planted rubs you the wrong way so you get an EKG and some labs. ETOH level is ~200. Currently drunk but not complaining of anything.

Additional questions? (Even if you are struggling with the EKG, what sorts of questions should you be asking?)

Thoughts?

MDs and the like hang back on this one before giving the game away.
Nice!! Great case and very important diagnosis to catch (if it's what I think it is)!
