ABSTRACT

A 19-year-old woman was brought to the emergency department in early February. She had been found shivering in the bathroom at London Bridge station at 5 AM by a station attendant. She explained on the preceding day she had travelled from Edinburgh to London by coach and was planning to travel on to Paris, but had missed her connection and therefore opted to spend the night at the station. Her main complaint was of bilateral calf tenderness (left more than right). She had no past medical history and took no regular medications. She was a university student and lived in halls of residence. She smoked five cigarettes daily and drank around 15 units of alcohol per week.
