The blatant disregard some people have for medicine is honestly unbelievable. The directions on the label are there to protect you, not to kill the vibe and ruin your fun.
Loved the video, but I thought acetaminophen being bad for the liver was basic and common knowledge, to where people stupidly use it for suicide. The metabolite stuff seemed pretty thorough, as usual in a chubbyemu vid
Big respect to the actor who cooked and ate the same amount of raw chicken and nighttime flu medicine as the guy in the story just to get the video shots. I hope they had a new liver on standby after filming.
@Swu. As a recovered dxm abuser, accurate af. I took five boxes of coricidin and hallucinated a version of myself telling me "hey man, I f--king hate you, you know that?"
About six months ago I stumbled across this channel. Before that, I had begun abusing medications and I'm grateful to be here to say that the phase only lasted a few months, thanks in large part to these educational videos. This channel saved my life and got me into rehab.
I knew a college girl who had terrible menstrual cramps, for which she took whatever OTC medicine she could get. Apparently she poured both acetaminophen and ibuprofen pills into a small bottle she kept in her purse. And whenever the pain got to be more than she could deal with, she took more pills. She wound up with liver damage that made her unable to keep down food for two weeks, until her liver recovered. Eventually she did recover her liver function. She eventually needed a hysterectomy for the endometriosis that had caused her period pain.
I’ve taken otc pain pills excessively for a rly long time (actually ODed on them once intentionally, what made me stop taking them so much and often) and it still scares me to think that my liver could be absolutely wrecked and I don’t know
I think I toe the line of taking too much tylenol and ibuprofen. Or just Meloxicam when I remember to refill it. My liver is probably struggling but like if I don’t it’s impossible to excercise without experiencing joint pain. The dilemmas of having undiagnosed autoimmune disease.
All the women i've ever known to have consistently bad menstrual experiences have always told me to shut up whenever i've said to get themselves checked for an actual issue, because i'm a man and therefore can't know what it's like. Except for one, who didn't have them at all and said "i just thought i was lucky" after finding out she had polycystic ovaries. They aren't supposed to be all that bad, and they never listen.
Man, the first minute or so of the story cracked me up. “The more he found a post funny, the more he would make no expression while breathing more and more air out of his nose.” Dr. Bernard gets it. Love this guy. 😊
The Human body tends to have a mind by itself. You have microscopic organisms that "remember" certain viruses of the past that got you sick as it was stored in a sort of memory bank. That's why when the virus enters your body at a later time, your immune system fights back and destroys the invader. It truly is remarkable to think that entire wars are fought to protect you
Can't believe I've started watching this channel as a bioscience undergraduate and now I'm starting my masters in drug research as this channel helped me develop a deeper interest in the matter through the very easy to understand case presentations. Thank you Dr. Bernard
@@kenju8929 we do a lot of stuff but mainly identifying potential drug targets and how the drugs effect disease models. And at my university we mainly focus on leukemia, chronic pain, dementia and stroke
Glad you are inspired to go into research. Knowing young people are advancing in very important fields of science and chemistry is great to know. Best of luck.
"Sometimes they'd see him sitting alone in a room, silent and staring off into space, when suddenly they'd hear him cackling maniacally because he remembered a random meme he posted online 2 years ago. He'd spend hours everyday just scrolling, and the funnier he found a post, the more his face would express no emotion while he breathed a larger volume of air, out of his nose." Godlike writing, nothing else to say.
When I was newly an adult and at college for the first time, a new friend introduced me to drinking cough medicine. We used to robo-trip, and I had drunk a full bottle several times before. While I read that dextromethorphan isn't typically dangerous in larger doses in some medical journals, those other ingredients surely weren't great to overdose on. One time at a party, I got so messed up that time appeared to be wavering, slowing and speeding up. I freaked out and tried calling 911, but don't think I did, and wound up staring at the ever changing pattern on the wall all night trying to come down. My heart would typically beat at a high rate while sitting still for several hours into the next day. I decided to not do it again, and it's been decades since then. My health is pretty good, but man, I really wonder what hell I was causing inside when I was young. Don't do drugs, kids! Even if over-the-counter!
this is how i felt when i accidentally od’d on 10 mg of weed. i was high for 3 days straight i think, and i couldn’t tell what was real and what was not. i have a lot of mental health issues, and i had already struggled with problems relating to derealisation. i lived in a state where weed was legal, and in my high, i’d tried to call an ambulance but the person i was with wouldn’t let me so i had to sit, high as hell all night long. i think at one point i was in the bath tub, letting cold water run on me to help ground myself, and then i also wound up in the kitchen gagging real bad. 😭 so yeah, no drugs. drugs = bad i swore off weed forever after that incident
That one time I tried more dxm then i used previously with codeine, and i had THE worst trip ever, the feeling of bugs crawling under my skin included 💀 it was so terryfing that i never did that again and got clean shortly after, but man, i remember it so well years after, definately question my life choices during that period
Yeah, the intro was funny and I thought "Who in the world would be dumb enough to cook their food with medicine...even for 'the lulz'?" When he brought up similar, but more relatable situations, like taking more than one medication at a time, I thought "Oh, shit. I better keep this in mind next time I take meds."
@@victoriazhu2185 I tend to agree. Shows like Jackass sent our ER trauma visits soaring after the premiere. They should rename it "So you want to become an organ donor!"
Currently binge watching these as I'm sick and can't sleep, these are making me feel pretty good about how I've been taking care of myself during this illness.
Lol, same here. I have an inflamed throat right now and I'm binge watching ChubbyEmu to pass some time while I recover. Nothing serious, already took the prescribed meds exactly how they were prescribed, now resting and drinking water. Not my turn to win the Darwin Award yet lol
I was considering taking double the recommended dosage of a sleep aid and stopped because I thought to myself, “I don’t want to end up making ‘a recovery’ in a ChubbyEmu video.” So thank you for keeping me safe with these videos!
Taking double the dose of an OTC sleep aid isn't anything to stress over. It's when you start using 4x the amount or more. Diphenhydramine is considered safe up to 150mg. (Depending on who you ask, and by no means is that the recommended dose.)
Even at the lowest dose daily use of diphenhydramine has been linked with increased chances of dementia. If that’s what you’re taking find another sleep aid there’s lots of choice
You are a hero. You present the matter seriously, yet relatable and self aware. I hope you have saved lives with this and wish the world wasn't like it is, but you make it safer.
He presents the matter seriously? Lmao really? Did you not notice all the tongue in cheek jokes he inserts into these scripts? He may manage to keep a straight face but his treatment of these subjects has gotten more and more flippant over time.
@@adriatic.vineyards pretty sure recognizing the serious nature of death in a way that is palpable is the best way to teach. These stupid stunts kill people and he mocks the premise in order to show the mindset is lethal. That's about as serious as one can get. Wouldn't you be angry if you kept having to treat people that fall for this stuff while there are serious things out there to work on?
We suspected my young daughter drank an entire bottle of children's Tylenol. We rushed her to the ER where they tested her blood Acetaminophen levels (hyperacetaminaphenemia??), but fortunately it came back as 0. When we got back home, we discovered she had dumped the bottle on the floor, thankfully!
hyperacetaminaphenemia 😂 it’s even funnier after surviving an OD of it myself Glad she didn’t go through that though! Even though I got help quickly, seeing your own legs shake uncontrollably while you can’t feel them is horrifying. Luckily, I had no liver damage - they pumped my stomach then put charcoal down the tube in time (also not a fun time) and then there’s the charcoal shits…
Hi!! Thank you for all of your hard work!! I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in 2021 and I am STILL here!! I was in the field for years so I just LOVE watching your videos. You are so incredibly intelligent and my husband and I think you would be so much fun to hang out with!! Just love ya!! Thank you!!
Lots of people here think OP is a real person, despite Dr. Bernard clearly stating that no cases of this are on the record. Calling the hypothetical victim "OP" flew way over many people's heads.
@@Nightriser271828 Although it is based off someone who intentionally ingested acetaminophen. He said that towards the end. Unfortunately there are 1 too many people who choose that as their way out. Also, "OP." 🤣
@@Systematicsphere OP stands for "original poster" and is used on anonymous message boards. When someone makes a post where they describe a ridiculous story or stunt they're doing, like in this video, people in the replies will refer to them in the third person like, "OP needs to get his head examined."
I take for granted that my mother is an RN. She taught me how to read labels on OTC meds, how to take care of myself when I am sick, and overall how to avoid situations like an Acetaminophen OD. It never really hit me until a girl I was dating got very sick and she had no clue how to take care of herself. She didn't know that fluids are the most important thing and got so dehydrated we had to go to the ER because she was on the verge of passing out.
I just had a bad early experience and researched every drug I took after that, even recreational ones. Did she tell you to give lorazepam to someone on hallucinogens having a bad trip? That's a big one. The stroke test is good to know too...I've had to use it several times on my dad.
@@lottnio8207 She wasn't stupid, but she didn't know how to take care of herself medically if she got sick. Medicine is not taught to people in the US unless they actually go to school for it.
@@coyotedomino Unfortunately I have no idea how it works chemically, but from personal experience I know it will bring you down and even outright stop it in minutes. I also watched a documentary where one of the nurses from Woodstock saved a guys life because nobody knew how to treat it but her, all with a single lorazepam dose. They're surprisingly safe and you can take quite a bit before you hit od territory. Same class as Valium, known as benzodiazepines. Anything that ends with "pam" is a benzodiazepine and any will do, but lorazepam is the best because it mostly works on the mind. The others help with physical issues as well, so are less effective for hallucinations.
Important note for those of us watching in the UK (and for those of us visiting the UK): What folks in the US call acetaminophen, we call paracetamol in the UK. They are the same chemical, with the same structure and the same effects. Assuming that you're okay just because you're taking things with different names isn't necessarily accurate.
I have suffered acute liver failure leading to acute multiple organ failure ( As a result of disease). This is no joke - it has a mortality rate of some 80%. I had a rare autoimmune condition at same time, (hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis or HLH), undiagnosed, so my chances of surviving were about 0 and I had a doctor tell me in no uncertain terms that I was going to die in that hospital bed. After heroic efforts by so many people to keep me alive they determined I needed my spleen removed because my red & white cells and platelets were critically low and my spleen was about 8lb because it was keeping all the blood. I have been closer to death than nearly anyone alive to tell about it. Finding a surgeon was just one of many hurdles because they determined I was too critical and unstable to survive surgery. One surgeon agreed but then it was convincing anesthesiologists. It took a team of anesthesiologists to do a somewhat routine surgery. I was in a medically induced coma and on life support for quite a while. 6mo in an ICU bed, having to learn to walk again, multiple dvt/pe, still disabled as a result. Don't mess with medicine. Some may have a lot of play before serious injuries and some, like Tylenol, take 1 mistake to put you in danger. It's not worth your life or the difficulties it can permanently cause to get some likes online.
@@nachtegaelw5389 thanks. It was something I privately feared but promised my family I would fight with every breath. I made peace with my mortality as a way to cope. It wasn't really awful for me at the time because I was so heavily medicated. It was after I started to recover that fear really was a problem. Would I be discharged only to die after fighting so hard? After months in a nursing home at age 30 I made it home and PTSD hit - it's a process. I made it through for a reason and I try to make the most of every moment every day because they're all seemingly borrowed.

@@StuartGray The lives of ignorant teenagers and adults who lack an understanding of medicine or the negative consequences of specific bad decisions. All of Chubbyemu’s content teaches us to be aware and cognizant of what could happen. People who watch his content could be more reactive when a friend is experiencing a medical emergency
I love how, yes these could be framed just as "What happens if you have too much Acetaminophen" but instead they're framed both as a story and a play by play of the internal chemistry that separates us from the rest of the non-living universe.
You mean as if it was somehow the person entering this alternate world rather than it being presented in a medical video? Maybe that is what medicine really is when the truth is exposed, somethig as scary as this.
That's why I can't grasp how people addicted to hydrocodone don't die . Every vicodin pill has 500mgs of acetaminophen and Brett Favre and the guy from friends said they to 40-70 a day for months and years
Good video--really points out the dangers here. Just in 2014, 78,000 Americans went to the ER due to acetaminophen liver toxicity. 90% of those were because people overdosed or took it with heavy alcohol. Roughly 30,000 were hospitalized, 3,000 required liver transplants, and 300 died. Just in that one year. Respect medications, always.
@@nonyabidness5708 We'd need to ban everything if we held all meds to the same criteria. Over 100K people die every year in the US due to legal drugs that are taken correctly. That does not include drugs that are abused or illegal drugs.
@@nonyabidness5708 No, we need drug education (much like we need sex education, not abstinence training). I'm an alcoholic--I'm aware of that--so I do _not_ take acetaminophen. Many people don't understand drug interactions. So my guess with the other cause of OD on "Tylenol" would be from dextromethorphan use--again, another drug that, if you understand it often comes with acetaminophen, and that that's dangerous in high doses, you can avoid certain medications that have acetaminophen while still having the "active" ingredient you're after (dextromethorphan in this case).

Just dropping by to tell that my mom passed away 2 months ago due to a terminal liver cancer. She was gradually getting less and less sane (mentally), but on the long run, she knew when she was saying gibberish. But when the time came that she didn't know anymore whether she was asleep or not and started losing her balance, I knew that this was brain damage happening, and that it was because of the high amounts of ammonia there. I knew that in her condition, this couldn't be helped, and to know that made me deal with the process so much better. My stepfather thought it was morphine overdose, but I knew it was her own body shutting down, and this made me calm, because I knew all I had to do was to relieve her pain and take her to her eternal rest in some comfort and without suffering. And I must thank you for all the videos, learning how the hyperammonemia shows signs and why it happens made it much better to cope with her condition and her passing. So, thank you, thank you and thank you again!!
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I'm glad that these videos were able to help you with not only understanding the medical condition, but also with how to cope as she went through various symptoms. It's amazing the impact that these videos can have. Sending you love and healing to you and your family
Blessings to your departed mom and you. My dad passed a couple months ago, and hospice was wonderful in educating us in what to expect and what the typical natural processes were. The educational aspect of their care was primary in helping us, because then it felt like what dad was experiencing was to be expected and could be addressed. A significant component of a lot of trauma isn't the actual injury but rather the inability to assess and competently address what's happening. Again, the educational aspect is unbelievably helpful in processing and dealing with stuff. I've had sports injuries that have been on the extremes when it came to knowing what happened: the one where I received lots of actual "care" but very little explanation for what happened made me feel as if I'd been majorly under-served, whereas the one where I received very little care but lots of explanation and education empowered me and greatly reassured me.
@@peedee4065 Thank you very very much for your words! And also, blessings to you and your family. Education on the process is so underestimated, and although it's a painful experience, it's nice to see that it is something that helped people throughout situations that could lead to potential trauma. Again, thank you so much!! ❤️
Idk man, seems like this is the person who would eat the deadly berries after watching the last person eat them and die because they wanted to know for sure.
I was convinced to drink a whole bottle of Robitussin about 20 years ago...peer pressure is terrible. It was a horrible experience where I lost control of my body (all my joints felt like they were made of jelly and I couldn't stop squirming on the floor) and had hallucinations. The very first symptom I remember was intense itching on the back of my neck. All of this lasted hours and hours and I remember just wanting it to be over as things just kept getting worse and my anxiety levels kept rising. I'm pretty sure it took 10 years off my liver. That was a one time lapse in judgement on my part that I really regret.
Following Dr. JASON FUNG, ERIC BERG, STEN EKBERG, PRADIP JAMNADAS and their lifestyle and miracles of fasting, you will heal your liver by regain lost 10 years and may live 100+ healthily.
one bottle? lmao yeah your liver is fine buddy. I know people who drank dozens of bottles in the course of a year (although, they were trying to get dextromethorphan, so they avoided ones with lots of any other drugs in it)... it's the acetominophen in it that kills your liver
I like the way Dr. Bernard presents these medical mysteries. It's educational. Health classes in high school and college and medical school should see this.
i love how the news picks up on these things that have maybe happened once or twice in all of human history and then report it as if it's this massive trend that hundreds of thousands of people are doing, then people see it and actually start doing it. it's literally the definition of a self-fulfilling prophecy

I once tried to OD on acetaminophen, I am pretty sure I’m still suffering the physical effects of not getting the right help. It’s scary and dangerous. I’m glad someone is trying to spread awareness about this.
Its a horrible slow process and the day after some people feel fine so they dont seek treatment, but during that time is the most vital to save your liver.
Well we don't really know what happened because this is based off another story, like ChubbyEmu said, there aren't any known cases of people overdosing on nyquil chicken, but there are tons of stories of people overdosing on Acetaminophen, so this is likely inspired from one of those. He also changes the ending sometimes, as he's said in other videos. But with all of that being said, yea, you could die from nyquil chicken or taking too much Acetaminophen in general.
Omg I actually laughed out loud at the blank expression but breathing more than normal through the nose. You're deadpan delivery on everything just made the joke *chefs kiss*
I just started studying medicine and videos on your channel cover such unique and sometimes complicated cases in such an acessible way, I think you are incredible at what you're doing.

Thank you also for pointing out that ‘NyQuil Chicken’ isn’t new. I remember seeing it a long time ago. Heck, my freshman year in college marching band (over 6 years ago-) we were all joking about “if you can’t sleep on the bus to the bowl game we’ll do NyQuil shots.” People want to act like this is some new thing but no, it’s been a thing. “Drink too much NyQuil and sleep” has been a thing for awhile.

I think I've seen warnings on the back of NyQuil bottles saying not to use it to induce sleep (specifically in children). So it definitely has the reputation for making you sleep I don't know what the thought process behind NyQuil chicken is though. I feel like it's less related to sleep and more about the bright color and that it's an absurd thing to put in your food
13:53 As morbid as it may sound, I find the rare videos you make where they only make a partial recovery or no recovery to be the most fascinating. Because it makes me appreciate life more, as well as the complexities and limits of both human physiology, and the ongoing challenges within healthcare.
There is A LOT of challenges in healthcare. I went from working in an OR (job changed because the docs left the practice and I have to relocate for my other iom job) from working in home healthcare/DME. Its super sad to see its not a “health CARE” industry. Its a money grab, suffice to say it took about two days working in home healthcare to dearly miss the OR. Thank goodness I start back 10/10

@@morganschiller2288 why I like public healthcare, it's about care and not money. Just the other week I got helped into the emergency department, was admitted in minutes and before the nurse had time to put a cannula in I was already being wheeled off for full brain CT scans, fast forward to the end of that stay and I'm handed some prescriptions, discharge referral papers and walked out the front door with nothing to pay. Same as when I see my doctor, all my visits, recent echo's, ECG, holter, ultrasound etc are all bulk billed and I just walk in, have the test/consult and walk out. Only certainty in life is death & taxes, might as well benefit from your taxes via public healthcare. Healthy people can work, working people pay taxes, tax dollars are used to make people healthy. It's a constructive loop unlike the privatised mess.
OP's reactions and thought processes are priceless (breathing in deeply but no facial expression when he finds things funny), and the meme references (I approve of this repeat usage of Are you winning son). I laughed and was horrified, what a show. Thanks again Doctor B.
I am really amazed at the knowledge accumulated in the medical field, and grateful that you're here to address and explain how toxicity isn't just as simple as "too much, flush it out or find an antidote", but is a complex can of worms that can spiral out of control and obscure the cause. Given the above, as a mechanic, I find diagnosis and repair of an issue can be daunting at times, even if the issue seemed trivial at first. I can only imagine that challenge with a biological system being many times more difficult, and I appreciate how you show us the surface and depth of what's involved and how important it is to be careful with our bodies.

Seriously, i love this channel for this reason. I always knew acetaminophen was toxic to the liver in high doses but never stopped to think what was actually happening. Had no idea it was just the main pathway being overwhelmed and the secondary's metabolites are super toxic. Also never knew about the backup plan to neutralize that metabolite and that's the really interesting part to me. I always assumed they just pumped your stomach and crossed their fingers that too much didn't get absorbed, but nope there's an antidote if you get them there quickly enough.
A really short way to describe these complex things: The body really likes to be stable (homeostasis), and has a number of systems designed to buffer against changes. When something goes beyond the limits of those homeostasis promoting systems, bad things happen.
Loved the single frame quick captions around the mitochondria - Probably because of how cryptic they were given their brevity. Love your videos, keep up the amazing work you do!
Acetaminophen is very sinister in overdose situations. Once you reach a certain point, the damage is done and there's not much you can do, even if you're stabilized. I had a friend who tried to unalive himself as a teenager using acetaminophen. He lived, but then around five years later, he was found dead in his bedroom, due to issues directly resulting from his overdose many years before.
What people don't realize is that there's acetaminophen in most Ny Quil type medicines. I've seen people dying from Tylenol overdose and it's not a good way to go.
to be fair, I honestly don't think people nowadays who spent their days scrolling memes would even know what acetaminophen or tylenol in the first place, let alone their side effects, if they did they wont cook their chicken in those and fuck themselves over by eating that
My nurse sister-in-law warned me about acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose decades ago. Her hospital had just lost a young man to a Tylenol overdose, and he didn't really take what would be considered "a lot". He'd just undergone a dental procedure and was given the pain medicine acetaminophen/codeine (Tylenol 3). He took a dose, but he was still in pain, so he took a couple of over-the-counter pain relievers, which happened to be Tylenol. I don't think he realized that "Tylenol" is the brand name for "acetaminophen". For him, it was enough to cause an overdose, and according to my S-I-L, it shut down his kidneys, and the hospital was unable to save him. I've been very leery and paranoid of Tylenol ever since then.
When you are on prescribed medication, do not take any other drugs without proper research and advice from your doctor. This especially includes over the counter medications. We are not experts on how such drugs interact with each other so it's better to be safe.
@@KillFrenzy96 I remember my mom reading the directions on the bottle every single time she took a pill. I used to think this was silly, but the habit rubbed off on me. I've avoided several drug interactions that would have occurred because my doctor didn't take my other meds into account---read that long paper! Import info.

I remember, as a kid, oh about 30 years ago now, reading about a teen who majorly overdosed on Paracetamol in a suicide attempt. But he changed his mind and called for help. What really horrified me was that it was too late. The process had started and was nothing that doctors could do. He was certain to die. It was just a waiting game. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and have spent my whole life taking extremely dangerous medications. But that one article in my grandparents’ Readers Digest drove home a lesson I’ve never forgotten: EVERY medication has the potential to be deadly. I’m still anxious about Acetaminophen/Paracetamol despite taking more infamous, heavily controlled pain medications. I have emergency NARCAN nasal spray on hand if I ever accidentally overdose on my opioid pain meds. In my 20s I lost two friends to prescription drug misuse/abuse. I think that article did better than any lecture from my doctors to impress upon me a respect of the danger of all medications, and may have in some way saved my life. Not all overdoses are the same. But dead is dead.
On the one hand, I absolutely get your fear and it’s legitimate. On the other, as the son of a nurse and pharmacist, it takes a LOT of OTC meds to OD, especially Tylenol. 2 bottles is over 9g of acetaminophen, which is equivalent to 18 500mg pills (which is itself over four times the recommended dose), except even more dangerous given how it metabolizes. You’re absolutely right to respect your meds, but at the same time following directions and talking with your doctor AND pharmacist (my dad has caught errors in the past, which is why he’s there) will keep you safe, as well.
at that point it wasn’t the article and it was the way your brain reacted to it. combined with ur life situation would make u more paranoid of medications than the average person
@@thomasford5893 I’m on biologics too actually but didn’t want to get too technical explaining! They have all been injections or infusions given by someone else, so I built a different relationship to them. And couldn’t overdose myself. Been through tons of them since Enbrel was first available in ‘99. But I’m currently on Xeljanz, that’s FINALLY a pill after years of sticks when needles have been a phobia since I was strapped down for excruciating Gold injections at ages 3-6 when first diagnosed. Huge relief. Unfortunately the permanent joint damage already done has been severe, and even biologics stopped working around 2008 until some new ones came out, so my joints are pretty destroyed and my RA is still very active though at least somewhat tamed. So opioids are unfortunately a necessary part of my daily life. Getting them is going through a strict series of flaming hoops, but without them I’d be unable to withstand it. Even going off just Advil prior to a recent surgery caused me to become less mobile. I’m lucky to live when and where I do! My wrists are both fused in place, but I have access to the best doctors and can afford it all. Joint replacement is still down the road because I have to start at the shoulders and move down, in order to be able to do recovery exercises properly. And I need to redo my jaw which will take steps. Ugh. More answer than you probably wanted but it’s my life so I get quite chatty, even though typing is hard. Hope that wasn’t tmi! Thanks for asking!
Thank you for doing this one. Yes the meme is old, but by using it as an example the FDA accidentally accidentally popularized it. What so many people don’t realize is even if it’s meant as a dumb joke, it can come back and get popular years later, causing irretrievable harm.
the FDA announced a lot of things. If you decided to pay attention to this one stupid joke and to not listen to the warning, then you deserve to win the Darwin award.
I like that you used OP as the initials because of the fact that the abbreviation OP is used to mean "original poster", also don't forget about the Allegra Chicken post as well
About 15 years ago when I was in high school, there was a disturbing trend of taking entire boxes of Coridicin (OTC cough medicine) to get high. I would love to see your take on that. I specifically remember friends turning bright red/almost covered in hives after taking a handful of pills, as well as them trying to climb walls and acting crazy with hallucinations that lasted for hours. They kept whispering when they talked too, it was weird. Luckily no one i knew died, but one friend ended up in the hospital. I've also heard of dextromethorphan abuse causing Olney's Lesions but idk if there are reliable studies on this yet. Glad that craze has passed. They used to lock up the cough medicines it got so bad in our city!
@@rory1336 My doctors had essentially prescribed me purple drank for over a year until I realized that’s what they had prescribed me. I was sleeping so much during that time. I was basically a bear in hibernation. Oxy+promethazine. 🤦🏻♀️
Yes. Me and my old friends were those idiotic kids. We called them" triple c's) we would get the tiny red sinus tablets and take like 15 eaxh and would be hallucinating. Thank god they put them behind the register counters when peoole caught on.

@@e2e-active712 I'm confused about that because how did they know than that he cooked chicken & that he went to game with hallucinations and a dry mouth and fear of his skin peeling off?

I really enjoyed this one. I'm sorry to hear what happened to OP, but it struck a cord with me because when I was young I took Way too much cough medication and ended up in the ER and ... It was not good. I was out for days, had to have catheter.. the whole nine yards. I'm lucky to be alive. Don't do stupid stuff guys. Have a great day, and thank God for hospitals and the people who work there
If you had been my chemistry teacher I might have turned up to chemistry. I’ve learnt more about the way chemicals act in the body from binge-watching this channel than from any highschool I made it too. It’s fascinating to me as I have a severe chronic illness that requires me to take a variety of heavy dose medications… I picture them floating around my body and brain like little chains of hexagons now.
Jesus Christ loves you! ♥️know♥️ 1 John 5 KJV 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 Corinthians 15 KJV 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Romans 3 KJV 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
5:46 sorry to be that guy, but paracetamol (acetaminophen) is not an anti-inflammatory drug. NSAID's are anti-inflammatory, such as Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Etoricoxib and more. Not paracetamol.
It's still appalling how such simple over the counter medicine can be abused so badly. Acetaminophen destroys livers so easily and yet so few people are aware of this. I see this too often in the lab. Thanks for the excellent vid.
I honestly can't understand how people can't be aware of this. Do people literally not read? You don't even have to read the leaflet, it's right on the package.
I don’t understand how people consistently take that much. I misread a label (in Chinese) and mistook a 500g dose for a 250g dose, and I could tell something was off just by how ridiculously effective it was at reducing my fever (it would plummet within an hour). And even then I had no major adverse effects taking basically double the dose for 12 hours (2000mg instead of 1000mg as I had thought). The amount you’d have to take consistently to go to the ER and need a lab is in the several grams, perhaps double digits, over a 24 hour period. Like, certainly if you exceed directed usage and still aren’t feeling good, you’d realize that increasing dosage wouldn’t do anything?
@@WMDistraction In my mind, I see two avenues: 1) Not having any idea at all what dose they would get - see the pain cream on groin situation from before 2) Trying to scale up when "the drug isn't effective enough" (usually, not actually treating the problem in the first place)
If they had discovered acetaminophen in todays times there would be no way it could get passed by the FDA but since it’s been around for a long time it’s (unfortunately) a good cheap solution for treating “pain”
hearing even just a slight mention of serotonin syndrome makes me kinda happy it’s being mentioned on a big platform . my mom had it and idk what she was hallucinating but she kept calling out to her mom and it was so sad to see . other than cough syrup or what was mentioned in the video, Tylenol with certain antidepressants can also cause this . such as mirtazapine
@@Angelcatsun thank you, you’re fine!! yeah, i can get what u mean . if you’re ever taking multiple meds it’s good to search up “(medicine name) interaction with (other medicine name”
Yep. I was on Effexor for anxiety back in 2011. That winter, I had a cold w a sinus infection. I had been taking Sudafed, plus Tylenol for headache pain. BAD. I had a seizure at work & an ambulance transport to the hospital. Serotonin toxicity. I’ve had lingering symptoms since then - mild & intermittent aphasia. I don’t wish what happened to me on anyone & I certainly learned a huge lesson about just mixing meds without understanding how they interact.🤦🏻♀️ I’m no longer on any anxiety meds, so that takes away a big part of the problem. But, damn. I never even knew about serotonin toxicity, never heard of it, before I had it.
I take mirtazepine and occasionally take Tylenol and have never experienced this. I am on 3 anti depressants and adderall for add, seretonin syndrome is my worst fear.
@@tailorforeman7082 Can I ask why are you doing it? Don't take it in a bad way, just curious. Can't imagine why would anyone combine medicaments like that.
If the kids parents were divorced I would have had to ask if his father was the guy from your snow globe video because the "ARE YOU WINNING SON?" really stuck out to me.
Thankfully, caring government bureaucrats at the FDA and the superior progressive tolerant folks at Amazon conspired to keep the antidote away from anyone who might need it. Thank god for these loving caring noble rulers.
@@fraxizztv6433 The source is the dude in the video literally telling you he couldn't find a single case of this happening. 1:23 (and slightly before that, but that's where he says this isn't true). The problem with starlitalhpa7's reply is acetaminophen overdoes do happen and this video is really just trying to bring awareness to that. The whole cooking chicken with it is irrelevant. It's a lot easier to believe some idiot would chug two bottles of nyquil when they are sick, because more is better. Or use two different medications (by the label or not) which combined total too much acetaminophen.
Just an EMT, love your channel, great as always. I just found myself saying "Jesus Christ" at every turn and as it kept getting worse. I really can't understand people doing these "challenges."
When I was on my previous seizure med, I wasn't allowed to take cold/flu medication (honestly, there were a lot of normal OTC meds that I couldn't take, like tylenol, etc.), because the seizure medicine was already having an affect on my liver. I've been off of it for almost two years, and still have to get my liver function tested every three months.
WOW, This hit hard for me, my brother died 7 years ago from acetaminaphen overdose. He went to the ER but he didn't survive. He was 29. I read somewhere that if Tylenol had to pass FDA requirements today, it would not be an OTC drug, but because it was already widely used when the FDA came to be, it was grandfathered in. Don't buy combined medications unless it is the ONLY thing you plan to take and follow the dose. I always buy Dextromethorphan HBr (the cough medicine) and pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine (nasal decongestant) because you can take them separately if you don't have both symptoms, and you can decide if you need acetaminaphine for aches and pains or as a fever reducer, or you can take ibuprofen instead, or alternate them every 6-8 hours. I truly do not understand why anyone would try to cook chicken (or anything at all) in medicine, but especially WHY would anyone drink the remaining liquid, if that is some sort of TikTok challenge/trend why not just have a "Drink an entire bottle of NyQuil and die from an overdose" challenge. If this is somehow a joke that I didn't understand, well ok, but if someone has actually tried this, or might, thanks for making this video, many people do not realize how unsafe medications can be when the dosage instructions are not followed, and especially when something is available without a prescription they assume it is harmless.
Huh....i ate 300 hydrocodone 7.5/750....i had cold flashes but, didn't even go to the hospital. I'm not trying to be a dick. I was an active heroin addict at that time and ive been off that for over a decade. I still take methadone but, its 33mgs and by prescription. I started at 120mgs 12 yrs ago. So i feel I've come a long way. I would prefer to smoke cannabis and stay at around 55-70 mgs which would be possible just about anywhere in the USA... except for the state I'm in but i came up here so i wouldn't have legal issues with the weed. I skied head 1st into a brick wall...so i have chronic neck and back pain that drive me bonkers to the point i cant think straight....like someone is driving molten steel into my bones.....hot, sharp, pain. Ganja doesn't help as much as dope but, at least i can make it through a sentence without passing out....and you can't overdose on weed....ive tried and done the research....i mean lethal overdose....you can get too high to walk but, you just fall asleep and wake up feeling great. Insomnia is another big issue...ever been awake 10 days without sleep?
"If this is somehow a joke that I didn't understand" It was a joke to some extent. There was a meme that was just a photo of chicken supposedly cooked in nyquil. This video is still extremely valuable for educating people about the dangers of abusing cold medications, but this particular story is hypothetical. I think in the video he even said that it doesn't seem like anyone has actually tried this before, thankfully.
FDA was formed in 1906 due to rash of products that were incorrectly labeled and basically unsafe products. Acetaminophen was approved in 1950. Every new formulation of a previously approved drug still has to have safety data reviewed. Realistically as the sciences improve, passing a new drug becomes harder. Totally agree with your post and sorry about your brother. There are both problems with chronic misuse and acute misuse of acetaminophen.
People are dumb enough to do the cinnamon/nutmeg challenge. Hell, they're dumb enough to even do the tide pod challenge. It's less a joke and more of a "it will happen eventually".
It was a trending Tiktok challenge and apparently has been tried. Tiktok has now shut it down. Can’t verify if anyone actually ate the chicken or were hospitalized, but even breathing the fumes is harmful. I certainly hope the pictures and videos posted were just cooking the chicken and not eating it.
At "he ate the chicken and drank the remaining juice" I physically gaged. Idk how people would even eat this. Ik it's a meme but it still makes me wana hurl lol
You just told the story about what happened to me when I was 19 and dumb. I thought the best way out was taking a couple whole bottles of ibuprofen and Tylenol. By far the worst pain and most I’ve ever thrown up in my life. I was lucky though and made it through somehow.
Oh fuck glad I didn’t intentionally overdose on acetaminophen. My overdose made me delirious, fatigued, and have gapes in my memory. I hardly felt any pain.
My high school boyfriend did this and needed his stomach pumped. It happened before we met and still breaks my heart to think about. He was good and sweet and suffered from severe depression. You weren't dumb, you were in a lot of pain and couldn't take it anymore...I'm glad you learned from your experience though and I really hope you're doing better now, if not okay at the least.♡

I'm happy you survived man
I knew a college girl who had terrible menstrual cramps, for which she took whatever OTC medicine she could get. Apparently she poured both acetaminophen and ibuprofen pills into a small bottle she kept in her purse. And whenever the pain got to be more than she could deal with, she took more pills. She wound up with liver damage that made her unable to keep down food for two weeks, until her liver recovered. Eventually she did recover her liver function. She eventually needed a hysterectomy for the endometriosis that had caused her period pain.
In high school I had colleagues skipping classes because their menstrual cramps were THAT bad.
I’ve taken otc pain pills excessively for a rly long time (actually ODed on them once intentionally, what made me stop taking them so much and often) and it still scares me to think that my liver could be absolutely wrecked and I don’t know
I think I toe the line of taking too much tylenol and ibuprofen. Or just Meloxicam when I remember to refill it. My liver is probably struggling but like if I don’t it’s impossible to excercise without experiencing joint pain. The dilemmas of having undiagnosed autoimmune disease.
All the women i've ever known to have consistently bad menstrual experiences have always told me to shut up whenever i've said to get themselves checked for an actual issue, because i'm a man and therefore can't know what it's like. Except for one, who didn't have them at all and said "i just thought i was lucky" after finding out she had polycystic ovaries.
They aren't supposed to be all that bad, and they never listen.
This just goes to show that period pain isn’t normal. Go to a doctor!

The Human body tends to have a mind by itself. You have microscopic organisms that "remember" certain viruses of the past that got you sick as it was stored in a sort of memory bank. That's why when the virus enters your body at a later time, your immune system fights back and destroys the invader. It truly is remarkable to think that entire wars are fought to protect you

I love a good (and preferably spicy) meme as much as the next person, but this line was truly disturbing
"His mother, Lana,"
When I was newly an adult and at college for the first time, a new friend introduced me to drinking cough medicine. We used to robo-trip, and I had drunk a full bottle several times before. While I read that dextromethorphan isn't typically dangerous in larger doses in some medical journals, those other ingredients surely weren't great to overdose on.
One time at a party, I got so messed up that time appeared to be wavering, slowing and speeding up. I freaked out and tried calling 911, but don't think I did, and wound up staring at the ever changing pattern on the wall all night trying to come down. My heart would typically beat at a high rate while sitting still for several hours into the next day.
I decided to not do it again, and it's been decades since then. My health is pretty good, but man, I really wonder what hell I was causing inside when I was young.
Don't do drugs, kids! Even if over-the-counter!
this is how i felt when i accidentally od’d on 10 mg of weed. i was high for 3 days straight i think, and i couldn’t tell what was real and what was not. i have a lot of mental health issues, and i had already struggled with problems relating to derealisation. i lived in a state where weed was legal, and in my high, i’d tried to call an ambulance but the person i was with wouldn’t let me so i had to sit, high as hell all night long. i think at one point i was in the bath tub, letting cold water run on me to help ground myself, and then i also wound up in the kitchen gagging real bad. 😭 so yeah, no drugs. drugs = bad
i swore off weed forever after that incident
That one time I tried more dxm then i used previously with codeine, and i had THE worst trip ever, the feeling of bugs crawling under my skin included 💀 it was so terryfing that i never did that again and got clean shortly after, but man, i remember it so well years after, definately question my life choices during that period

Did you eat something offered to you by Ignignokt and Err? That could be your problem right there. Never accept food stuffs from Mooninites.
I was considering taking double the recommended dosage of a sleep aid and stopped because I thought to myself, “I don’t want to end up making ‘a recovery’ in a ChubbyEmu video.” So thank you for keeping me safe with these videos!
You could probably get away with it if you're a chunky person.
It's okay to take double the dose in some cases, you should just talk to your doctor beforehand because you most likely have a higher tolerance
Taking double the dose of an OTC sleep aid isn't anything to stress over. It's when you start using 4x the amount or more.
Diphenhydramine is considered safe up to 150mg. (Depending on who you ask, and by no means is that the recommended dose.)
This channel makes me double down on concern about limiting my medicine intake.
Even at the lowest dose daily use of diphenhydramine has been linked with increased chances of dementia. If that’s what you’re taking find another sleep aid there’s lots of choice
You are a hero. You present the matter seriously, yet relatable and self aware. I hope you have saved lives with this and wish the world wasn't like it is, but you make it safer.

Thank you so much! Hope you and your husband are well!
What a creative way to put yourself in the hospital.

Oh whatever, I could top that, I just don't feel like it.
We gotta keep the medical professionals on their toes.
Love that the patient was 'OP' haha. This is the most self-referential, shitposty, and hilarious Chubbyemu video yet, and I love it.
Lots of people here think OP is a real person, despite Dr. Bernard clearly stating that no cases of this are on the record. Calling the hypothetical victim "OP" flew way over many people's heads.
Op?
@@Nightriser271828 Although it is based off someone who intentionally ingested acetaminophen. He said that towards the end. Unfortunately there are 1 too many people who choose that as their way out.
Also, "OP." 🤣
@@Systematicsphere OP stands for "original poster" and is used on anonymous message boards. When someone makes a post where they describe a ridiculous story or stunt they're doing, like in this video, people in the replies will refer to them in the third person like, "OP needs to get his head examined."

Top COMMENT PLEASE😭🤣
I take for granted that my mother is an RN. She taught me how to read labels on OTC meds, how to take care of myself when I am sick, and overall how to avoid situations like an Acetaminophen OD. It never really hit me until a girl I was dating got very sick and she had no clue how to take care of herself. She didn't know that fluids are the most important thing and got so dehydrated we had to go to the ER because she was on the verge of passing out.
I just had a bad early experience and researched every drug I took after that, even recreational ones.
Did she tell you to give lorazepam to someone on hallucinogens having a bad trip? That's a big one. The stroke test is good to know too...I've had to use it several times on my dad.
How stupid she was? If parents don’t happen to tell don’t they teach such a thing at kindergarten and elementary school?
@@lottnio8207 She wasn't stupid, but she didn't know how to take care of herself medically if she got sick. Medicine is not taught to people in the US unless they actually go to school for it.
@@davejones9469 can i get more info about that lorazepam effect? sounds interesting
@@coyotedomino Unfortunately I have no idea how it works chemically, but from personal experience I know it will bring you down and even outright stop it in minutes.
I also watched a documentary where one of the nurses from Woodstock saved a guys life because nobody knew how to treat it but her, all with a single lorazepam dose. They're surprisingly safe and you can take quite a bit before you hit od territory. Same class as Valium, known as benzodiazepines. Anything that ends with "pam" is a benzodiazepine and any will do, but lorazepam is the best because it mostly works on the mind.
The others help with physical issues as well, so are less effective for hallucinations.
The idea of drinking, essentially, two bottles of chicken-infuses NyQuil made me feel physically ill
For real. I have no clue wth he was thinking. Maybe he just wanted to game end himself in the most meme-able way possible.
bro..same...will prob never be able to take it again
It's a natural warning mechanism! Your brain is preventing you from doing something that will harm you in an extremely undignified manner!
Same
Gagging as we speak. Revolting. Kid has bigger issues.
Important note for those of us watching in the UK (and for those of us visiting the UK): What folks in the US call acetaminophen, we call paracetamol in the UK. They are the same chemical, with the same structure and the same effects. Assuming that you're okay just because you're taking things with different names isn't necessarily accurate.
I have suffered acute liver failure leading to acute multiple organ failure ( As a result of disease). This is no joke - it has a mortality rate of some 80%. I had a rare autoimmune condition at same time, (hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis or HLH), undiagnosed, so my chances of surviving were about 0 and I had a doctor tell me in no uncertain terms that I was going to die in that hospital bed. After heroic efforts by so many people to keep me alive they determined I needed my spleen removed because my red & white cells and platelets were critically low and my spleen was about 8lb because it was keeping all the blood. I have been closer to death than nearly anyone alive to tell about it. Finding a surgeon was just one of many hurdles because they determined I was too critical and unstable to survive surgery. One surgeon agreed but then it was convincing anesthesiologists. It took a team of anesthesiologists to do a somewhat routine surgery. I was in a medically induced coma and on life support for quite a while. 6mo in an ICU bed, having to learn to walk again, multiple dvt/pe, still disabled as a result. Don't mess with medicine. Some may have a lot of play before serious injuries and some, like Tylenol, take 1 mistake to put you in danger. It's not worth your life or the difficulties it can permanently cause to get some likes online.
Wow, I’m so glad you survived! That must’ve been scary
@@nachtegaelw5389 thanks. It was something I privately feared but promised my family I would fight with every breath. I made peace with my mortality as a way to cope. It wasn't really awful for me at the time because I was so heavily medicated. It was after I started to recover that fear really was a problem. Would I be discharged only to die after fighting so hard? After months in a nursing home at age 30 I made it home and PTSD hit - it's a process. I made it through for a reason and I try to make the most of every moment every day because they're all seemingly borrowed.
You’re just gaslighting death, aren’t you?
Man, you’re really lucky to be alive, and I’m glad you are. Only Rabies has a lower survival rate.

I used to think that instructions for shampoo were absurd but videos like this over the years have changed my mind
I love how, yes these could be framed just as "What happens if you have too much Acetaminophen" but instead they're framed both as a story and a play by play of the internal chemistry that separates us from the rest of the non-living universe.
It's gross and creepy and now I have an existential crisis happening. Yeah, tnx random, non-descript person.
Mans really took a fat bong rip before watching the video gahdam
You mean as if it was somehow the person entering this alternate world rather than it being presented in a medical video? Maybe that is what medicine really is when the truth is exposed, somethig as scary as this.
@@marcelosantaana871 aint that the truth
That's why I can't grasp how people addicted to hydrocodone don't die . Every vicodin pill has 500mgs of acetaminophen and Brett Favre and the guy from friends said they to 40-70 a day for months and years
Good video--really points out the dangers here. Just in 2014, 78,000 Americans went to the ER due to acetaminophen liver toxicity. 90% of those were because people overdosed or took it with heavy alcohol. Roughly 30,000 were hospitalized, 3,000 required liver transplants, and 300 died. Just in that one year. Respect medications, always.
We need to bam tylenol!!!
@@nonyabidness5708 We'd need to ban everything if we held all meds to the same criteria. Over 100K people die every year in the US due to legal drugs that are taken correctly. That does not include drugs that are abused or illegal drugs.
@@nonyabidness5708 No, we need drug education (much like we need sex education, not abstinence training). I'm an alcoholic--I'm aware of that--so I do _not_ take acetaminophen. Many people don't understand drug interactions. So my guess with the other cause of OD on "Tylenol" would be from dextromethorphan use--again, another drug that, if you understand it often comes with acetaminophen, and that that's dangerous in high doses, you can avoid certain medications that have acetaminophen while still having the "active" ingredient you're after (dextromethorphan in this case).
Well we always try banning guns when people die... lol. I was being facetious. I should have added the /s

Just dropping by to tell that my mom passed away 2 months ago due to a terminal liver cancer. She was gradually getting less and less sane (mentally), but on the long run, she knew when she was saying gibberish. But when the time came that she didn't know anymore whether she was asleep or not and started losing her balance, I knew that this was brain damage happening, and that it was because of the high amounts of ammonia there. I knew that in her condition, this couldn't be helped, and to know that made me deal with the process so much better. My stepfather thought it was morphine overdose, but I knew it was her own body shutting down, and this made me calm, because I knew all I had to do was to relieve her pain and take her to her eternal rest in some comfort and without suffering. And I must thank you for all the videos, learning how the hyperammonemia shows signs and why it happens made it much better to cope with her condition and her passing. So, thank you, thank you and thank you again!!
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I'm glad that these videos were able to help you with not only understanding the medical condition, but also with how to cope as she went through various symptoms. It's amazing the impact that these videos can have. Sending you love and healing to you and your family
@@Dee33300 Thank you!! Your words are sure a welcome comfort for us today 💖
Blessings to your departed mom and you. My dad passed a couple months ago, and hospice was wonderful in educating us in what to expect and what the typical natural processes were. The educational aspect of their care was primary in helping us, because then it felt like what dad was experiencing was to be expected and could be addressed. A significant component of a lot of trauma isn't the actual injury but rather the inability to assess and competently address what's happening. Again, the educational aspect is unbelievably helpful in processing and dealing with stuff. I've had sports injuries that have been on the extremes when it came to knowing what happened: the one where I received lots of actual "care" but very little explanation for what happened made me feel as if I'd been majorly under-served, whereas the one where I received very little care but lots of explanation and education empowered me and greatly reassured me.
@@peedee4065 Thank you very very much for your words! And also, blessings to you and your family. Education on the process is so underestimated, and although it's a painful experience, it's nice to see that it is something that helped people throughout situations that could lead to potential trauma. Again, thank you so much!! ❤️
God bless you and the people close to her
Back in the days of the cave man, these were the people that taught us what berries not to eat. Let us all bless this man and say a prayer

I was convinced to drink a whole bottle of Robitussin about 20 years ago...peer pressure is terrible. It was a horrible experience where I lost control of my body (all my joints felt like they were made of jelly and I couldn't stop squirming on the floor) and had hallucinations. The very first symptom I remember was intense itching on the back of my neck. All of this lasted hours and hours and I remember just wanting it to be over as things just kept getting worse and my anxiety levels kept rising. I'm pretty sure it took 10 years off my liver. That was a one time lapse in judgement on my part that I really regret.
Yikes I hope you never hung with them after that those aren’t true peers I’m sorry you had to experience that

one bottle? lmao yeah your liver is fine buddy. I know people who drank dozens of bottles in the course of a year (although, they were trying to get dextromethorphan, so they avoided ones with lots of any other drugs in it)... it's the acetominophen in it that kills your liver

Thank you also for pointing out that ‘NyQuil Chicken’ isn’t new. I remember seeing it a long time ago. Heck, my freshman year in college marching band (over 6 years ago-) we were all joking about “if you can’t sleep on the bus to the bowl game we’ll do NyQuil shots.”
People want to act like this is some new thing but no, it’s been a thing. “Drink too much NyQuil and sleep” has been a thing for awhile.

Same as when I see my doctor, all my visits, recent echo's, ECG, holter, ultrasound etc are all bulk billed and I just walk in, have the test/consult and walk out.

I am really amazed at the knowledge accumulated in the medical field, and grateful that you're here to address and explain how toxicity isn't just as simple as "too much, flush it out or find an antidote", but is a complex can of worms that can spiral out of control and obscure the cause.
Given the above, as a mechanic, I find diagnosis and repair of an issue can be daunting at times, even if the issue seemed trivial at first. I can only imagine that challenge with a biological system being many times more difficult, and I appreciate how you show us the surface and depth of what's involved and how important it is to be careful with our bodies.

Seriously, i love this channel for this reason. I always knew acetaminophen was toxic to the liver in high doses but never stopped to think what was actually happening. Had no idea it was just the main pathway being overwhelmed and the secondary's metabolites are super toxic. Also never knew about the backup plan to neutralize that metabolite and that's the really interesting part to me. I always assumed they just pumped your stomach and crossed their fingers that too much didn't get absorbed, but nope there's an antidote if you get them there quickly enough.
Not to mention, instead of being on a schedule, being on a timer...of life or death. Mad stressful, I couldn't be a doctor or any of that lol
A really short way to describe these complex things:
The body really likes to be stable (homeostasis), and has a number of systems designed to buffer against changes. When something goes beyond the limits of those homeostasis promoting systems, bad things happen.

Acetaminophen is very sinister in overdose situations. Once you reach a certain point, the damage is done and there's not much you can do, even if you're stabilized. I had a friend who tried to unalive himself as a teenager using acetaminophen. He lived, but then around five years later, he was found dead in his bedroom, due to issues directly resulting from his overdose many years before.

welp, as a certain not-so-tall someone on the internet once said "clout chasing is a disease"
My nurse sister-in-law warned me about acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose decades ago. Her hospital had just lost a young man to a Tylenol overdose, and he didn't really take what would be considered "a lot". He'd just undergone a dental procedure and was given the pain medicine acetaminophen/codeine (Tylenol 3). He took a dose, but he was still in pain, so he took a couple of over-the-counter pain relievers, which happened to be Tylenol. I don't think he realized that "Tylenol" is the brand name for "acetaminophen". For him, it was enough to cause an overdose, and according to my S-I-L, it shut down his kidneys, and the hospital was unable to save him. I've been very leery and paranoid of Tylenol ever since then.
When you are on prescribed medication, do not take any other drugs without proper research and advice from your doctor. This especially includes over the counter medications. We are not experts on how such drugs interact with each other so it's better to be safe.
@@KillFrenzy96 I remember my mom reading the directions on the bottle every single time she took a pill. I used to think this was silly, but the habit rubbed off on me. I've avoided several drug interactions that would have occurred because my doctor didn't take my other meds into account---read that long paper! Import info.

Love the contrast between the meme jokes and serious discussion about medicine. Since I’ve started watching I’ve been far more careful with medicine and my health. You’re doing a lot of good for many dumb teen/young adults (myself included)
Nice to know that five and a half years later, we can all agree OP is a real goober for making sleepytime chicken to get internet points. Thanks for making this video; I'm honestly just astonished that it's gotten to this point, all things considered, and it's nice to see a proper video covering the potential health issues caused by this. 100/10
It's a hypothetical situation, OP isn't a real person. The high intake of acetaminophen is an issue though
@@Nothing-pb8hu OP is also an acronym for "Original Poster". That being said, I was referring to the OP of the 4chan screencap that I'm pretty sure started it all - back in 2017, someone made a massive thread revolving around him making and eating "sleepytime chicken" that was just outright chicken breast boiled in Nyquil, along with some other medically-dangerous things. In fact, I'm pretty sure at least a couple of the images that were spreading around to kick the trend off in the first place came from that thread.
@@ThatOneFriendlyDude I never heard of the "sleepytime chicken" before now, but there was an "Allegra chicken" post on Twitter a few years ago. The poster @-ed Allegra, who gave a corporate-speak reply translating to "WTF?" I'm guessing it was inspired by the "sleepytime" meme.
This is first time I've come the word 'goober'. I've deduced from the context that it could mean an idiot or stupid. Am I correct?
@@brandonpinto5290 Yeah, that's pretty much it.
It just means someone who does silly or dumb things.
The “are you winning son” reference is absolutely great. If you’ve watched enough chubbyemu you’d know where that comes from.
chubbyemu cinematic universe crossover
I remember, as a kid, oh about 30 years ago now, reading about a teen who majorly overdosed on Paracetamol in a suicide attempt. But he changed his mind and called for help. What really horrified me was that it was too late. The process had started and was nothing that doctors could do. He was certain to die. It was just a waiting game.
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and have spent my whole life taking extremely dangerous medications. But that one article in my grandparents’ Readers Digest drove home a lesson I’ve never forgotten: EVERY medication has the potential to be deadly. I’m still anxious about Acetaminophen/Paracetamol despite taking more infamous, heavily controlled pain medications. I have emergency NARCAN nasal spray on hand if I ever accidentally overdose on my opioid pain meds. In my 20s I lost two friends to prescription drug misuse/abuse. I think that article did better than any lecture from my doctors to impress upon me a respect of the danger of all medications, and may have in some way saved my life.
Not all overdoses are the same. But dead is dead.
On the one hand, I absolutely get your fear and it’s legitimate. On the other, as the son of a nurse and pharmacist, it takes a LOT of OTC meds to OD, especially Tylenol. 2 bottles is over 9g of acetaminophen, which is equivalent to 18 500mg pills (which is itself over four times the recommended dose), except even more dangerous given how it metabolizes.
You’re absolutely right to respect your meds, but at the same time following directions and talking with your doctor AND pharmacist (my dad has caught errors in the past, which is why he’s there) will keep you safe, as well.
He deserved it too late to go back!
at that point it wasn’t the article and it was the way your brain reacted to it. combined with ur life situation would make u more paranoid of medications than the average person
if you don’t mind why opioids and not biologics?
@@thomasford5893 I’m on biologics too actually but didn’t want to get too technical explaining! They have all been injections or infusions given by someone else, so I built a different relationship to them. And couldn’t overdose myself. Been through tons of them since Enbrel was first available in ‘99. But I’m currently on Xeljanz, that’s FINALLY a pill after years of sticks when needles have been a phobia since I was strapped down for excruciating Gold injections at ages 3-6 when first diagnosed. Huge relief.
Unfortunately the permanent joint damage already done has been severe, and even biologics stopped working around 2008 until some new ones came out, so my joints are pretty destroyed and my RA is still very active though at least somewhat tamed. So opioids are unfortunately a necessary part of my daily life. Getting them is going through a strict series of flaming hoops, but without them I’d be unable to withstand it. Even going off just Advil prior to a recent surgery caused me to become less mobile. I’m lucky to live when and where I do! My wrists are both fused in place, but I have access to the best doctors and can afford it all. Joint replacement is still down the road because I have to start at the shoulders and move down, in order to be able to do recovery exercises properly. And I need to redo my jaw which will take steps. Ugh.
More answer than you probably wanted but it’s my life so I get quite chatty, even though typing is hard. Hope that wasn’t tmi! Thanks for asking!
Thank you for doing this one. Yes the meme is old, but by using it as an example the FDA accidentally accidentally popularized it. What so many people don’t realize is even if it’s meant as a dumb joke, it can come back and get popular years later, causing irretrievable harm.
It’s natural selection
@@qjtvaddict you should naturally select to stop posting youtube comments ya ding-dong
the FDA announced a lot of things. If you decided to pay attention to this one stupid joke and to not listen to the warning, then you deserve to win the Darwin award.
Irreparable. Irreparable harm.
Streisand effect
I like that you used OP as the initials because of the fact that the abbreviation OP is used to mean "original poster", also don't forget about the Allegra Chicken post as well
i'm actually terrified of taking two (2) aspirin tablets a day because of acetaminophen. i cannot imagine anyone doing this. jesus christ.
Nyquil: the nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head, fever that you don't want to cook chicken in medicine.
Hahahaha! I heard a commercial announcer's voice in my head as I read your comment. Good one!
About 15 years ago when I was in high school, there was a disturbing trend of taking entire boxes of Coridicin (OTC cough medicine) to get high. I would love to see your take on that. I specifically remember friends turning bright red/almost covered in hives after taking a handful of pills, as well as them trying to climb walls and acting crazy with hallucinations that lasted for hours. They kept whispering when they talked too, it was weird. Luckily no one i knew died, but one friend ended up in the hospital. I've also heard of dextromethorphan abuse causing Olney's Lesions but idk if there are reliable studies on this yet.
Glad that craze has passed. They used to lock up the cough medicines it got so bad in our city!
When I was in the military, they did this with Mucinex. The stores ended up having to lock them up and limit how much people could buy. 🤦🏻♀️
Recently found out that's what "lean" is

He was supposed to be comatose apparently so I don't know how any of that information could have been given if there was no recovery!
@@SuperQBoi Dr. Bernard said OP recorded the whole cooking and eating episode so he could make memes out of it.

I really enjoyed this one. I'm sorry to hear what happened to OP, but it struck a cord with me because when I was young I took Way too much cough medication and ended up in the ER and ... It was not good. I was out for days, had to have catheter.. the whole nine yards. I'm lucky to be alive.
Don't do stupid stuff guys. Have a great day, and thank God for hospitals and the people who work there

These videos really show the human body as a complex, self-sustaining factory. Then show how it breaks down. I like that
5:46 sorry to be that guy, but paracetamol (acetaminophen) is not an anti-inflammatory drug. NSAID's are anti-inflammatory, such as Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Etoricoxib and more. Not paracetamol.
The amount of commitment to this story is impressive
It's still appalling how such simple over the counter medicine can be abused so badly. Acetaminophen destroys livers so easily and yet so few people are aware of this. I see this too often in the lab. Thanks for the excellent vid.
I honestly can't understand how people can't be aware of this. Do people literally not read? You don't even have to read the leaflet, it's right on the package.
I don’t understand how people consistently take that much. I misread a label (in Chinese) and mistook a 500g dose for a 250g dose, and I could tell something was off just by how ridiculously effective it was at reducing my fever (it would plummet within an hour). And even then I had no major adverse effects taking basically double the dose for 12 hours (2000mg instead of 1000mg as I had thought). The amount you’d have to take consistently to go to the ER and need a lab is in the several grams, perhaps double digits, over a 24 hour period.
Like, certainly if you exceed directed usage and still aren’t feeling good, you’d realize that increasing dosage wouldn’t do anything?
@@WMDistraction In my mind, I see two avenues:
1) Not having any idea at all what dose they would get - see the pain cream on groin situation from before
2) Trying to scale up when "the drug isn't effective enough" (usually, not actually treating the problem in the first place)
@@WMDistraction 500mg for pain isn't high at all. I've been prescribed 800mg ibuprofen for pain while i was an 18yo woman
If they had discovered acetaminophen in todays times there would be no way it could get passed by the FDA but since it’s been around for a long time it’s (unfortunately) a good cheap solution for treating “pain”
hearing even just a slight mention of serotonin syndrome makes me kinda happy it’s being mentioned on a big platform . my mom had it and idk what she was hallucinating but she kept calling out to her mom and it was so sad to see . other than cough syrup or what was mentioned in the video, Tylenol with certain antidepressants can also cause this . such as mirtazapine
Omg I’m so sorry. I just came off anti depressant and i had been worried about that
@@Angelcatsun thank you, you’re fine!! yeah, i can get what u mean . if you’re ever taking multiple meds it’s good to search up “(medicine name) interaction with (other medicine name”
Yep. I was on Effexor for anxiety back in 2011. That winter, I had a cold w a sinus infection. I had been taking Sudafed, plus Tylenol for headache pain. BAD. I had a seizure at work & an ambulance transport to the hospital. Serotonin toxicity. I’ve had lingering symptoms since then - mild & intermittent aphasia. I don’t wish what happened to me on anyone & I certainly learned a huge lesson about just mixing meds without understanding how they interact.🤦🏻♀️ I’m no longer on any anxiety meds, so that takes away a big part of the problem. But, damn. I never even knew about serotonin toxicity, never heard of it, before I had it.
I take mirtazepine and occasionally take Tylenol and have never experienced this. I am on 3 anti depressants and adderall for add, seretonin syndrome is my worst fear.
@@tailorforeman7082 Can I ask why are you doing it?
Don't take it in a bad way, just curious. Can't imagine why would anyone combine medicaments like that.

@@starlitalpha7 Source? "trust me, bro?"
@@fraxizztv6433 The source is the dude in the video literally telling you he couldn't find a single case of this happening. 1:23 (and slightly before that, but that's where he says this isn't true). The problem with starlitalhpa7's reply is acetaminophen overdoes do happen and this video is really just trying to bring awareness to that. The whole cooking chicken with it is irrelevant. It's a lot easier to believe some idiot would chug two bottles of nyquil when they are sick, because more is better. Or use two different medications (by the label or not) which combined total too much acetaminophen.
Just an EMT, love your channel, great as always. I just found myself saying "Jesus Christ" at every turn and as it kept getting worse. I really can't understand people doing these "challenges."
No one did it. Until the FDA reported on it, there was almost no results for it. It's an old meme that passed.
@@starlitalpha7
I wish I believed in humanity that much. You know someone's done it and doing it now.
As an Emergency Physician, thank you for this!
Have you seen patients doing dumb shit like this?
When I was on my previous seizure med, I wasn't allowed to take cold/flu medication (honestly, there were a lot of normal OTC meds that I couldn't take, like tylenol, etc.), because the seizure medicine was already having an affect on my liver. I've been off of it for almost two years, and still have to get my liver function tested every three months.
yeah they can amplify each other that's why
WOW, This hit hard for me, my brother died 7 years ago from acetaminaphen overdose. He went to the ER but he didn't survive. He was 29. I read somewhere that if Tylenol had to pass FDA requirements today, it would not be an OTC drug, but because it was already widely used when the FDA came to be, it was grandfathered in.
Don't buy combined medications unless it is the ONLY thing you plan to take and follow the dose. I always buy Dextromethorphan HBr (the cough medicine) and pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine (nasal decongestant) because you can take them separately if you don't have both symptoms, and you can decide if you need acetaminaphine for aches and pains or as a fever reducer, or you can take ibuprofen instead, or alternate them every 6-8 hours.
I truly do not understand why anyone would try to cook chicken (or anything at all) in medicine, but especially WHY would anyone drink the remaining liquid, if that is some sort of TikTok challenge/trend why not just have a "Drink an entire bottle of NyQuil and die from an overdose" challenge.
If this is somehow a joke that I didn't understand, well ok, but if someone has actually tried this, or might, thanks for making this video, many people do not realize how unsafe medications can be when the dosage instructions are not followed, and especially when something is available without a prescription they assume it is harmless.
Huh....i ate 300 hydrocodone 7.5/750....i had cold flashes but, didn't even go to the hospital. I'm not trying to be a dick. I was an active heroin addict at that time and ive been off that for over a decade. I still take methadone but, its 33mgs and by prescription. I started at 120mgs 12 yrs ago. So i feel I've come a long way. I would prefer to smoke cannabis and stay at around 55-70 mgs which would be possible just about anywhere in the USA... except for the state I'm in but i came up here so i wouldn't have legal issues with the weed. I skied head 1st into a brick wall...so i have chronic neck and back pain that drive me bonkers to the point i cant think straight....like someone is driving molten steel into my bones.....hot, sharp, pain. Ganja doesn't help as much as dope but, at least i can make it through a sentence without passing out....and you can't overdose on weed....ive tried and done the research....i mean lethal overdose....you can get too high to walk but, you just fall asleep and wake up feeling great. Insomnia is another big issue...ever been awake 10 days without sleep?
"If this is somehow a joke that I didn't understand"
It was a joke to some extent. There was a meme that was just a photo of chicken supposedly cooked in nyquil. This video is still extremely valuable for educating people about the dangers of abusing cold medications, but this particular story is hypothetical. I think in the video he even said that it doesn't seem like anyone has actually tried this before, thankfully.
FDA was formed in 1906 due to rash of products that were incorrectly labeled and basically unsafe products. Acetaminophen was approved in 1950. Every new formulation of a previously approved drug still has to have safety data reviewed. Realistically as the sciences improve, passing a new drug becomes harder. Totally agree with your post and sorry about your brother. There are both problems with chronic misuse and acute misuse of acetaminophen.
People are dumb enough to do the cinnamon/nutmeg challenge. Hell, they're dumb enough to even do the tide pod challenge. It's less a joke and more of a "it will happen eventually".
It was a trending Tiktok challenge and apparently has been tried. Tiktok has now shut it down. Can’t verify if anyone actually ate the chicken or were hospitalized, but even breathing the fumes is harmful. I certainly hope the pictures and videos posted were just cooking the chicken and not eating it.
At "he ate the chicken and drank the remaining juice" I physically gaged. Idk how people would even eat this. Ik it's a meme but it still makes me wana hurl lol

You just told the story about what happened to me when I was 19 and dumb. I thought the best way out was taking a couple whole bottles of ibuprofen and Tylenol. By far the worst pain and most I’ve ever thrown up in my life. I was lucky though and made it through somehow.
Same but I was 15, I still remember the yellow foam and how it tasted 😵💫
Glad you’re doin better, bro. That must have been horrible.
Oh fuck glad I didn’t intentionally overdose on acetaminophen. My overdose made me delirious, fatigued, and have gapes in my memory. I hardly felt any pain.
My high school boyfriend did this and needed his stomach pumped. It happened before we met and still breaks my heart to think about. He was good and sweet and suffered from severe depression. You weren't dumb, you were in a lot of pain and couldn't take it anymore...I'm glad you learned from your experience though and I really hope you're doing better now, if not okay at the least.♡
