Aside from the insensitivity and irresponsibility why does he need to buy more than 2 packets at any given time? He's complaining about a complete non issue here and causing upset and hurt whilst he does.
To be fair to him, living with CRW I'd imagine you get through a few packs a week
Hope you are OK. Please ignore their ignorance. I don't listen but I too would have been upset by that comment.
It was because he wanted two bottles of calpol for robin I think but the whole thing was just horrific
Are supplies of calpol running low then ? Could you not just buy one bottle then go get another one if you needed it ? Totally inappropriate and not funny - they must be struggling for content if this is the depths they are scraping !
You can buy more than one as well, you just have to go to the pharmacy counter. I did it in boots recently when I had to get a bunch of stuff for friends and their child who were isolating
You’d have to neck a duck ton of paracetamol to OD as an adult and plus it’s about 10x more expensive than paracetamol caps so most pharmacists employ some discretion and common sense (in my case I was buying night nurse and some calpol)
It doesn’t actually take that much to OD on paracetamol, the damage it can do may or may not kill you even at a ‘low’ dose of too much.
There’s 2.4G in a bottle of infant calpol so just over double a standard adult dose. Hadn’t thought about junior calpol as that will be more concentrated. A “duck ton” is probably excessively flowery in terms of my language lol but all I can say is I’ve seen and treated a lot of patients with paracetamol overdoses and none of them have ever drank it in liquid form except one lady who crushed the adult tablets and dispersed them in a drink. Livers regenerate well so a non fatal paracetamol OD which doesn’t require transplantation will usually lead to full recovery in a healthy well nourished adult who is treated in hospital promptly.
But you can buy 2 packets in one transaction and more if you do it via the chemist or a pharmacy counter. One shouldn't be giving more that 4 doses of Calpol in 24hrs so two bottles is more than enough. If there is a greater need than that then one should be consulting a pharmacist or GP anyway.
Why remove a sensible rule that causes nobody any harm (and in fact aims to do the opposite) because it’s ‘annoying’? This is tone deaf. Risky move to wade in on a conversation about suicide and start telling everyone they’re over sensitive.
I really hope no one in your life comes to you and tells you they feel suicidal.
oh wow, if someone wants to kill themselves perhaps we should KEEP preventative measures in place to try and help them out of that dark place, let’s hope nobody in your life ever goes there, I imagine you’d not have much empathy…..
This is also why the stigma around mental health still exists
such lack of empathy
