I think that most of the cases of paracetamol poisoning that I ever heard of proved fatal, maybe not right away.....but pretty soon after.....and some of these, despite aggressive management to reverse the effects of the intake.

I once saw a program on TV about St James hospital Leeds, which is one of the main centres for liver transplants and they said that you can't reverse a paracetamol overdose and its a very painful and drawn out death if a transplant is not undertaken
