I remember asking a physician if Tylenol tm was all that good, since they advertise that more hospitals use Tylenol tm than any other pain medication... He said that was because they gave more of it to the hospitals than other pain reliever manufacturers! Dr. Blacktape Rises From His Bed of Pain (;-)) To Set The Record Straight... While McNeil may give away more Tylenol than Bayer gives away aspirin, the real reason that more Tylenol (acetaminophen) is used in hospitals than all other pain relievers combined is quite simple....unlike aspirin, ibuprofen, and all the other NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory), acetaminophen does NOT interfere with platelet formation, and thus will not cause or increase bleeding after surgery. It's one of those medical no brainers....It doesn't in any way mean that Tylenol is better at relieving pain...just less likely to cause other problems...unless it causes the liver to crash...which is more likely than aspirin to do..! None of which has a freaking thing to do with Leicas... Cheers..
