Since it seems to be circulating to the level at which I will indulge.

I copy this from LawDog:

1. Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more.
2. Find page 123.
3. Find the first five sentences.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

I am not going to tag five people. Sadly, my closest book is a prep for the oral boards, so this material is quite dry:

"6) Clinical findings that indicate a serious overdose of cyclic antidepressants include all of the following except:
         a. Ventricular dysrhythmia
         b. Wide QRS complex

         d. Hypertension

7) The key to understanding Lithium overdose is in understanding its excretion Mechanism. Almost all of it is excreted unchanged in the urine. Reabsorption of the drug occurs primarily at:
