I had kidney stone surgery (laser lithotripsy) in Manhattan last Friday morning and literally the first thing I was given after changing into the paper gown was 2 500mg Tylenol pills and a cup of water. I don’t know if you’re a physician but the medical staff in manhattan tend to be at the top of their game, and they are cool with Tylenol.

Are you saying one of the most used drugs on the planet is safe just because someone gave it to you in manhattan?

Being safe acutely after surgery does not necessarily translate into being healthy over decades when habitually used as a hangover cure.
