Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This article explores an injury case in which a middle-aged male offered two female colleagues vegetable juice containing triazolam. The concentration of triazolam in one subject's vegetable juice was of a higher concentration than the other. This subject suffered from such symptoms as numbness, sleepiness, visual disturbance and anterograde amnesia. Conversely, despite having consumed a considerable quantity of vegetable juice, the other subject, with a relatively lower concentration of triazolam in her drink carton, exhibited no symptoms. The differences in the amount of triazolam ingested by each subject, particularly with respect to the expression of symptoms in just one subject, sparked considerable medico-legal discussion. The advice of a medico-legal expert was thus required to explain the reason for these differences.
