ORLANDO EDF – Last night a girl named Tina Sharon (6) who was left alone at home took some medicine and was found unconscious by the time her parents got home and found her lying on the ground. The doctor said that she took 4 pills when a single pill itself is very strong for normal adults. The doctor and nurses have been trying to pump the pills out all night before it is fully digested, causing permanent damage. Tina opened her eyes 7 A M. in the morning and she seems to be healthy other than that she still vomits a lot and have strong side effects still showing. Tina said that she was hungry and thought it was candy since her dad always took it every morning. This incident once again shows us how important it is to keep the medicine away from the children.
