Résumé

In this case, a 93-year-old woman declines rapidly following glossectomy surgery and experiences rapid weight loss. She becomes withdrawn and uncommunicative and is diagnosed as failure to thrive and potentially cognitively impaired. The eventual explanation for her decline is unexpected, surprising-and counterintuitive. This case illustrates the importance of investigating every aspect of medication use related to outcomes including medication administration, therapeutics, and health system dynamics.
