Trust me....IV Potassium burns your veins like hell...unless they dilute it down by putting it in her saline bag. IF they did that...it might have taken 6 bags. Chances are that she's lying though. Too much potassium will cause heart problems and can be fatal.
True, and OTOH, if her electrolytes were as screwed up as her post suggests, she was seeing and thinking things more different from reality that what an average DU-member-on-meds sees and thinks. I've seen the effects of hyponatremia, and one can induce an electrolyte imbalance sufficient to being seeing things not there and necessitate an ER visit by ingesting 2 or 3 GU gel packets together and without water (GU gel is used by runners during races and long runs to replace electrolytes sweated out). So I doubt the accuracy of her
, though she wasn't necessarily lying about it.
