Tylenol Rx ?

About 0430 am Mom obviously trashed along with friend who drove them to our ER brings in 5 y/o with complaint of nausea & vomiting (dried vomited on child’s night shirt). Understand they drove to us from a near by city with plenty of hospitals. The kicker they wanted a prescription yah you heard me for Tylenol. We did a work up on the kid and she was fine PO challenge included. We’ll I couldn’t let the child get back into a car with a drunks one passed out on the stretcher with the kid. The other passed out in the waiting room. I pressed for time by telling Mom that Tylenol was so strong we couldn’t keep it in the ER, and we had to wait for pharmacy to bring it to us. Meanwhile I did the only thing I could and police were on there way. We they arrived they kicked the stretcher several times to wake Mom finally when she woke up very surprised I must add they ran her info. A couple minutes later she was cuffed and heading for jail for several outstanding warrants. They waited outside for the driver to get into his car when they arrested him for DWI. I kept the kid until Grandma arrived to pick her up.
All over a prescription for Tylenol.
