    Call 911 if she refuses to go to the ER. It is an attempted suicide. They MUST treat her and stabilize her. They will assess you and if they think she needs further treatment they will admit her. IF they are a non profit hospital like a catholic they will often write it off/discharge it. If she refuses to go with you than once she becomes unconscious they will take her against her will. She might be able to get medicaid for the cost associated with this. Some people can. Better this or attend a funeral.

    Not to sound cold hearted but what are you doing on the computer if you are worrying about your sisters health? Shouldn't you be calling 911? Something tells me this is not a legit question. Anyone who thinks there sister might be dying would not be on the internet.


    Of course this is just my opinion.

    Go to the hospital. The ER can not refuse you treatment if it is a medical emergency!!!

    Well would you rather pay for a funeral than the medical treatment?

    Have you got funeral insurance or are you going to bury her in your backyard?

    Presuming you've already gone to the hospital as you should...
    Keep in mind that if you're broke, and the hospital has to attend to her, getting the money from you is THEIR problem, not yours.

    The real danger here is the 5000mg of acetaminophen, it could cause long term liver damage. The pm part is only Benadryl, or diphenhydramine 250 mg. I take that much in a day for allergies. She is likely to sleep for 12 hours and then have a hangover feeling. She needs help for trying to kill herself. Or on instructions on how to do it. This won't.
