most of the acetaminophen/tylenol overdoses are suicide attempts...and a few are drunks who take six or seven for a hangover. And some cases of hepatic failure is blamed on tylenol just because the patient took it.
We once had three patients who had severe hepatitis within a week, all of whom had been in a local celebration. I begged the state public health department to check other hospitals for similar cases and check if there had been a toxic event but got nowhere because they had all taken tylenol, and that was blamed.
You are right. I should have chosen another example rather than acetaminophen to make my point. But in a way, your response proves my point in a different way. Thanks.
