Kobieta próbowała popełnić s---------o wstrzykując sobie rtęć.

The story: A 21-year-old dental assistant attempted suicide by injecting 10 ml (135 g) of elemental mercury (quicksilver) intravenously. She presented to the emergency room with tachypnea, a dry cough, and bloody sputum. While breathing room air, she had a partial pressure of oxygen of 86 mm Hg. A chest radiograph showed that the mercury was distributed in the lungs in a vascular pattern that was more pronounced at the bases. The patient was discharged after one week, with improvement in her pulmonary symptoms. Oral chelation therapy with dimercaprol was given for nine months, until the patient stopped the treatment; the urinary mercury level did not change during this period. At follow-up at 10 months, she was healthy, with none of the renal, gastrointestinal, or neurologic effects that can result from the oxidation of mercury in the blood and consequent exposure of these organ systems. The abnormalities on the chest radiograph were still apparent.

@Kosciany: miała prowadzoną dializoterapie?
135g rtęci przy +-wadze 65kg z czego krew stanowi ok 4.5l to wychodzi dokładnie 0.03g/l czyli 300mg/dl stężenie rtęci. Wolnej zakładając że nie łączyła się z erytrocytami. Nie mogę znaleźć informacji jakie stężenie jest śmiertelne dla człowieka.

Ale że nie uszkodziło nerek ani objawów neurologicznych nie ma...
