Amazing that she recovered completely.

Very, have to wonder what sort of chelating agent regime was used to clean that up.

At least it was elemental mercury... if it was even a sparingly water soluble salt of mercury, it would have killed her.

It's amazing the ways people will find to (attempt to, in this case) kill themselves.

Unnecessarily elaborate ways.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Or just plain dumb; we used to occasionally get the ones who had eaten a few bottles of Tylenol.  Guess they got some perspective on what it means to have your life really suck before they died from liver failure several days later.

Helpful hint; if you're going to do it with a case of NyQuil, make sure no one will find you in time.  Apparently the effects of the doxylamine and dextrmethorphan overdose make the impending liver failure from the acetaminophen even more unpleasant.

So can they take her temperature without using a themometer?  ???
