AB  - A  29-year-old  man  presented  to  the  emergency  department  (ED)  after  a  motorcycle  accident.  Upon  arrival  to  the  ED  he  was  found  to  have  suffered  a  crush  injury  to  his  left  temple.  He  was  intubated  and  underwent  urgent  evacuation  of  an  epidural  hematoma.  The  next  day  he  developed  progressive  hypotension  and  spiking  fevers.  Oozing  from  multiple  line  and  venipuncture  sites  was  noted.  His  hemoglobin  and  platelet  count  began  to  decline  and  his  prothrombin  time  (PT)  and  partial  thromboplastin  time  (PTT),  which  were  initially  normal,  started  to  rise.  His  liver  function  test  showed  a  rise  in  transaminases.
