description A 41-year-old woman with no significant past medical history presented to the hospital with complaints of nausea, vomiting, and generalized weakness over two weeks. The patient did not seek medical attention as she assumed that her symptoms willwould resolve.

This led us to take a detailed social history that revealed an unexpected event.
