Forbidden Lean at the Euthanasia Party

When you’re at a toxicology conference trying to “one-up” a colleague with your crazy case then, they drop this... #NACCT2023 History 37-year-old male with a history of anxiety, attention deficit disorder, and chronic pain who was brought in to the emergency department by paramedics. The patient was in his normal state of health at an end-of-life celebration for a friend with terminal pancreatic cancer. The patient's friend was prescribed a Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) preparation as part of a physician-assisted suicide program. After the patient's friend consumed part of the preparation and described it as bitter, the patient ingested an unknown-sized "sip" of the preparation containing: • Diazepam 1,000 mg • Digoxin 10 mg • Morphine 15,000 mg • Amitriptyline 8,000 mg • Phenobarbital 3,000 mg The bystander states that the older man is a “death with dignity” patient who invited loved ones to be present while he consumed the MAID medication. After his first swallow, he remarked, “Man that burns!” The younger man said, “Let me see,” and then also took a swallow. The attending paramedic directs rescuers to begin ventilating the younger man at the euthanasia party everyone gets a sip of the forbidden lean

A photo of a toxicology conference presentation describes a patient who accidentally takes a sip of a lethal medical-aid-in-dying preparation after complaining that it tastes bitter. The joke escalates when another man asks to try it, and the punchline compares the deadly mixture to “forbidden lean,” a dark parody of recreational drug slang. It is used as an absurd reaction to someone dramatically trying to outdo another person’s shocking story.
