Interesting article in the NYTimes re: serotonin syndrome. Apparently this
is what Libby Zion actually died of??! Also according to the summary from
the NEJM it can be precipitated by several kinds of drugs that trauma
patients might get. I actually did a lit search on this topic a couple of
years ago and was very underwhelmed by the small number of case reports. So
I was very surprised at the frequency and lethality cited by the authors.
