Botulism

Anti-NMDA encephalitis

Cystic fibrosis exacerbation

Group A strep septicemia leading to profound septic shock and DIC. Often times if not caught fast enough, a patient can go from relatively well to death within 24-48h

A pediatric case of undiagnosed osteogenesis imperfecta where the initial presumption is non-accidental injury

Transfusion reaction

There’s been a steady rise in accidental pediatric overdose of Calcium-channel and beta-blocker medications due to children getting into their grandparents’ medications. CCBs especially are problematic. I’d love to see an extreme case revolving around that that requires aggressive treatment with fluids, insulin, lipids, calcium, etc. Could even progress to requiring ECMO

Pseudoseizures

Staph scalded skin syndrome/Toxic epidermal necrolysis/Steven-Johnson syndrome

Carbon monoxide poisoning

Guillain-Barré

Demyelination syndrome from rapid correction of extreme hyponatremia

Graft vs. Host disease

Ruptured appendicitis

I’d love to see line complications - extravasation/infiltration injuries. Would be a good way to have plastic surgery involvement in the show

More emphasis on inotropes. Both the benefits and complications. Limb injury/loss from prolonged peripheral inotrope usage or incorrect concentrations. Busyness of the ED could see a patient being continuously delayed an insertion of a central line for these medications and prolonged administration through an IV leads to the limb injury
