Did you ever stop to consider that this person was in so much pain with no other alternatives that they might have done so out of desperation rather than simple ignorance?
If you’re in that much pain, you go to the hospital, you dont overdose on Tylenol. This isn’t a sympathy thing. And based on the response they gave the doctor, it was an ignorance thing.
I’ve been in this position before. Sent home from hospital twice to “take some paracetamol”. Third time I went in they pumped my stomach because of how much paracetamol I had taken, and finally gave me some actual painkillers.
When you are in debilitating pain, side-effects are not something that you particularly care about.
Typed a whole thing put and then deleted it. Not even going to bother. You’re making inferences you just cant make from the post. I agree, there are systemic barriers to Healthcare, this isn’t that.

Holy shit. It’s almost like there are systemic barriers that would prevent them from having access to healthcare.
Not everyone can afford a doctor. Welcome to the reality of what people have to go through just to get through their day.
It is entirely an empathy thing, and you lack it.
