A member asked:

After taking 40,000mg of acetaminophen, my girlfirends sister was brought to the hospital about 30 min later, what are her chances of survival?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Below: Depends on how effective treatment was initially. IF she was seen within 30 min of ingestion, then most should hopefully be removed with induction of vomiting.
