Sounds like "DRESS" syndrome or "RUSH" syndrome or something like that. All capitalized acronym.

Renal failure and bradycardia and something-something.

EDIT:

BRASH syndrome, nevermind. I thought of it once I stopped thinking of it and started playing video games.

No way I was going to get this without Google.

I definitely don’t get bradycardia when playing this:

PulmCrit- BRASH syndrome: Bradycardia, Renal failure, Av blocker, Shock, Hyperkalemia

This is one of my favorite diagnoses. When first encountered, it may seem bewildering and difficult to treat (1). Indeed, standard ACLS algorithms often fail with these patients. However, once understood, this disorder is easily treated and patients typically improve rapidly.

So, I think I see this a lot more often than others in my specific population.
I also "knew that this was called something; but what that something was... I didn't know."

One step more than midlevels.
You know what you don't know.

I've definitely seen this a few times in practice.

I worked last night, slept for 5 hours, got up and went to the gym, and the something was still in my brain.
My brain no work good.

I like it because of the "action-word!" acronym. Stuff like that sticks because it's flashy.

RUSH
BRASH
PRESS! (?)
DRESS
ASS
FLASH
CRASH
SMASH

I for one have never heard of this brash thing at all. Never knew it existed. But I bet I’ve seen bradycardia with hyperkalemia in a BB/CCB OD before. At some point

"What is it Doctor?"

You caught my free-association.

DRESS syndrome is a thing.
Dress? Ass.
Ass? Flash.

It's obviously acute serotonin syndrome and sympathomimetic associated severe hyperthermia.
