For example, was the person with friends who were aware the poisoning victim was incapacitated but who did nothing to help, perhaps because of their own intoxication? Awareness that many drug-related poisonings occur in such circumstances could help others learn not to over-titrate dangerous drugs among company that cannot be relied upon to provide help. Likewise, information about people who accidentally poison their system unexpectedly can promote an understanding that certain drug combinations can lead to incapacitation that might be reversable only if treated by competent or qualified caregivers. Information about how caregivers responded can potentially be life-saving.
Of course, as is all of the information available at this forum under the title of "babble", such information is also available elsewhere, usually catalogued under scholarly headings.
