Sux Kills... or does it?
A trial is underway in Reno Nv of a critical care nurse accused of injecting his wife with succinylcholine as a means of killing her. Apparently, he's not the first to think of this, although it seems as if the FBI toxicology lab can measure succinylcholine and succinylmonocholine, a metabolite, in urine post mortem. And they testified that it was present. The Las Vegas Review Journal has a report. A Reno report has a PULMONOLGIST claiming that Sux injected in the buttocks could not cause death. And to think, I've worried in the OR all these years...
