Robert is a homeless man with a lazy eye who lives in the neighborhood. He walks into your clinic one morning, vomiting all over the place. You presume he's intoxicated and injected an IV which administers medicine through his veins to help him sober up, but the IV did not work. His breath smells like alcohol, but he insists he hasn't had anything to drink all day. He also tells you he's miserable and suicidal and makes up a narrative about a group of people stealing his organs and replacing them with artificial ones. So, you decide to take a blood test. You discover that he has a high accumulation of pyruvate in his blood and that his magnesium levels are low after testing. You do more tests and discover that he has hepatic steatosis, which you label as a syndrome. What is the condition, and what vitamin deficiency caused it? And why
