    An all orders formula for the SS-matrix for 2 →\rightarrow 2 scattering in large N Chern-Simons theory coupled to a fundamental scalar has recently been conjectured. We find a scaling limit of the theory in which the pole in this SS-matrix is near threshold. We argue that the theory must be well described by non-relativistic quantum mechanics in this limit, and determine the relevant Schroedinger equation. We demonstrate that the SS-matrix obtained from this Schroedinger equation agrees perfectly with this scaling limit of the relativistic SS-matrix; in particular the pole structures match exactly. We view this matching as a nontrivial consistency check of the conjectured field theory SS-matrix.Comment: 12 pages, minor correction
