Overdose, ambulance or not?
Hey, I know this question sounds really stupid, but I need help. My mother died three days ago, and I couldn't/can't cope with it at all. I'm in psychological treatment, but I collapsed and overdosed. Now that I'm clear-headed, I regret it and am scared. I'm 17 years old, 175cm tall, and weigh about 70kg. I've taken seven esomeprazole and two Novaminsulfon tablets. I also have chronic gastritis.
I know most people will want me to call an ambulance just in case, but I live in a nursing home and if they find out about this I'll be kicked out. I'm really desperate and so scared. If it really has to be done I'll go to the hospital, but if I can survive the night I'd rather not go and keep this a secret from my carers.
Call 116117, this is the medical care service and let you medically advise! And if they advise the hospital, do it!
But I can’t imagine that the home will throw you out of the house in such an exceptional situation.
My condolences!
Hey, thank you for your help.
I called there and the lady told me to call the poison call center, my problem is only she meant the number was free, but with me it is not and I have too little credit. You know what I can do?
Uff shit, I’ll see the answer now.
I just called and tried.
But how are you now??
Clearly better, something was risky to wait from me until the next morning, but then called again and they thought it wasn’t too bad or no emergency. Had strong and long-lasting abdominal pain, but in the morning we went back. Thank you for your help!
Now tell the supervisor. Please. And I’m really sorry about your mother. Nobody throws you out.
