What's scary about this is that this isn't the typical case of the patient being stupid and landing in the ER. It sounds like this guy had a really good head on his shoulders. He called 911 right away and wasn't embarrassed about his mistake to stop him from telling medical staff exactly what he could've overdosed on by accident, allowing them to have the knowledge to save his life. It was just an honest mistake. I'm glad he was able to recover.

I have a lot of medical anxiety so I probably shouldn’t be watching these videos but I also like learning about stuff like this a lot. the fact that most of the patients in your stories survive have honestly alleviated a lot of my anxiety. the human body fights so hard to stay alive it’s amazing

Hey, i've found your channel just today and kind of went down a rabbit hole watching more and more videos. I just want to congratulate you for the level of production quality and good understandable structure. It's fascinating, educational and triggers a morbid curiosity. Thank you for your work!

When I was in a worse place mentally, I purposefully overdosed on caffeine pills after just one made me feverish. It was an odd impulse and I still don’t get why I did it. I took two more in the morning, four more at lunch, and eight more a few hours after that, re-dosing whenever my symptoms eased off. 2-4 left me dizzy, nauseous, and shaking all over. After I took 8, the nausea + my inability to stop my muscles from contracting resulted in me vomiting all the water out of my body. Sometimes my abdomen would stay clenched for so long that I would get lightheaded from a lack of oxygen, because I couldn’t inflate my lungs. If my parents hadn’t found the bottle of caffeine pills hidden in my tissue box and taken me to the ER, I would have died of either dehydration or seizures.
I get weird when I’m reminded of it. Like now. Consider this a cautionary tale, I guess. Don’t be a dumbass and poison yourself just because you think the poison’s nonlethal. Anything can be lethal given the right circumstances.

I’m a biochemist in a medical device production company - THIS kind of stuff is why our procedures involve painstaking labeling practices and TWO people signing off before transferring things to other containers. It’s so easy for even the healthiest/brightest of humans to make simple errors like this…

A rare case of a patient who had the right idea, but just had a complete and unintentional lapse of awareness. Fortunately, as soon as he had enough lucidity to answer questions coherently, he was able to provide doctors in the ER with exactly the information they needed to help him as expediently as possible, and we got to see a good ending to this story of a patient making a full recovery and going back to the thing they were doing, that they still have the right idea about. <3

As a chemist, we not only label our bottles but we also color code them to differentiate between drastically different chemicals. It can be as simple as wrapping a colored strip of tape around the neck or base of the bottle; somewhere highly visible and around the entire perimeter so that there is no way you will miss it. Stay safe everyone!
