Description
A condition that floods emergency departments in January. A severe withdrawal syndrome once nicknamed the Jitterbug. And a time when Veterans hospitals kept whisky on the formulary.
Your patient. Your diagnosis. Your decision.
An interactive addiction-medicine case involving tremor, hallucinations, seizures, autonomic instability, sedative treatment, and the challenge of recognizing life-threatening alcohol withdrawal.
