SCENARIO: An 18 year old female was rushed to the hospital because she was found unconscious in her room. The mother of the patient assumed that the patient was just taking a nap in the afternoon to cope with the stress of online classes though she never heard her daughter complain about it. However, the patient did not respond to her mother's call for dinner around 7PM. The mother of the patient went to her daughter's room and saw an empty bottle of ferrous sulfate that was bought yesterday. The mother became worried because her daughter is not waking up despite her efforts. The mother of the patient was already convinced to file the appropriate complaints on the school. However, the friend of the patient showed up in the hospital and told the mother that the patient took two blister packs of paracetamol a week prior to the incident because her boyfriend cheated on her and they broke up about a month ago. QUESTION: 1. Would radiographic imaging help in the diagnosis? Why or why not?
