ER Staff Witness Alarming Trend: Patients Refuse Tylenol Due to Autism Misinformation, Jeopardizing Health
Washington D.C. – A healthcare provider, Val Torrico, has voiced significant concern regarding a growing trend in emergency rooms: patients refusing Tylenol due to widespread misinformation. Torrico, who works in an ER, reported encountering multiple patients, including a pregnant individual with a high fever, who declined the medication based on unsubstantiated claims linking Tylenol to autism. "If you don't have a medical degree, don't give medical advice," Torrico stated, expressing frustration over the impact of non-medical individuals spreading false information. She highlighted the critical importance of treating fevers during pregnancy, explaining that elevated body temperatures can lead to increased heart rate and oxygen demand, potentially causing congenital defects in the first trimester or preterm labor in the third trimester. Torrico specifically criticized public figures, including politicians, who make health-related decisions and disseminate information without medical qualifications. She pointed out that the source of the Tylenol-autism misinformation is reportedly the same individual who previously advocated injecting bleach to combat COVID-19, underscoring the dangers of such unverified advice. Furthermore, Torrico addressed the harmful perception of autism perpetuated by this misinformation, stating, "Autism is a spectrum. Not everybody with autism is seen as like defective... that is not the case." She urged the public to consult healthcare providers with any medical questions or concerns, emphasizing that medical professionals are dedicated to helping patients based on credible research.
