Youve been called to the Emergency Room to assist with a patient who has recently taken a psychedelic substance and is acutely intoxicated. After you assist in calming the patient and the effects of the substance subside, you return to your office to document your experience with the patient. Using objective language describe how the patient presented a.) What did you see when you arrived? b.) How was the patient behaving? c.) What symptoms did he or she report? How long did it last? d.) What danger was he or she in at the time? e.) Determine based on your observations and interactions with the individual which substance he or she used, and explain why it was that substance and not a different one (or perhaps you could narrow it to a small group of substances).
