The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

"As for "doubling up" - got a cold so you take a cough suppressant, and a decongestant, and you're sore and achy so you take a tylenol, and something to soothe your throat - odds are every one of those things contain tylenol." S2 #3,039

Manhattan NYC, ~ turn of the century:

Pappy's man cave was 10 blocks South of his 3rd wife's more civilized Sutton Place address.
Even in his 80's he'd walk the 10 blocks to meet her in time for supper, as he had done each Friday for years.
To avoid blood clots Dad self-prescribed aspirin.
To preserve mental acuity he took ginkgo biloba. Both are anticoagulants.
One afternoon after his 10 block walk to dinner he mentioned a headache, and said he'd lie down a while, she should call him / awaken him for dinner.
He never got up. Brain hemorrhage apparently.

SO !
As Dr. S2 observes: beware doubling up. The life you save may be your own.

So despondent she decided to end it all, Penelope trudged off to the pharmacy to buy a family-sized bottle, 1,000 Aspirin,
planning to swallow all one thousand tablets. BUT !
I remember reading a post by a clinical resident in ER about having a family come in - parents and a teenage daughter - he said one look and he knew what was wrong. "How many tylenol did you take" - answer, an entire bottle. Nothing much they could do for her except make her comfortable.
