Halle Zingiber has been granted refugee status in this country. He has had to leave his wife and two children in Ethiopia. He is severely depressed and is receiving treatment with the tricyclic depressant, nortriptyline. No effects were reported when standard doses of the drug (25 mg tds) were used. His doctor increased the dose many-fold to 200 mg/day a dose, which is inducing effects. Can you explain Halle’s unusual response to therapy?

Rachel Greene has been a nurse at Spring Hills Medical Center for 13 years and has served well in a number of positions, including head of an intensive care unit (ICU) for 2 years. After returning from a short leave to care for her mother, she had four different temporary assignments.

Her former nursing manager thought that Rachel might even be stealing controlled substances from the hospital; she and a…
