Psychiatric Emergencies for Clinicians: Emergency Department Management of Hypercalcemia

A 55-year-old male with a medical history notable for diabetes mellitus and lung cancer was brought to the emergency department via emergency medical services for lethargy and confusion that started a few hours earlier. His family reported that his medications included tramadol 50  mg three times a day as needed for pain and glyburide 5 mg twice a day. A review of systems was taken from his family members, which was positive for nausea, abdominal pain, polyuria, polydipsia, and a recent renal stone.
