She fell and broke the distl portion of her radius of her left arm. Six months after the injury she is still unable to grasp with her left arm and experiences wrist drop. It was determined that the fracture sent a splinter of bone out that severed her radial nerve. 1. Name this common fracture. 2. What muscles are affected by this nerve injury evident by her lasting symptoms?

Question
Case study #5
**Case Study #4** Jeremy and his mom went to the gas station to grab their sushi for dinner. The puffer fish roll looked the least questionable, so he began eating it in the car on the way home. Ten minutes later, as he was walking to his front door, he fell down dead. Autopsy revealed that the sushi Jeremy consumed was poorly prepared (shocking) and contained tetrodotoxin—the toxin of the puffer fish. 1. How did this toxin SPECIFICALLY cause Jeremy’s death? 2. Is eating gas station sushi a good idea? --- **Case Study #5** Beth, a young waitress, was working her nightly shift at Denny’s when a rowdy teenager tripped her while she was carrying out a plate of pancakes to a hungry table.
