How would a hospital react if you had taken an overdose?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Interesting question: Depending on what you overdosed with, they'd give you a reversing agent like Naloxone, or activated charcoal, or pump the stomach, or even give you life support if you truly overdid it. If you live, they'd hopefully refer you to an addiction specialist and a psychiatrist. Don't tempt fate.

Should and would: act in your best interests. The duty of the healthcare team is to take care of patients without judgement.
