Post Seventy-Five: Where can I score some Tylenol #3?

From someone's medical records I'm reviewing:

"At that time the patient acknowledged that someone apparently showed up the night before . . . and subsequently the patient was able to have gotten narcotics outside the hospital from a friend. The medication, per patient, was possibly Tylenol #3. The patient said he may have taken about 10 tablets. . . .

"The patient also had a drug screen that was done emergently at 5:00 a.m. [the next morning] that showed positive in PCP, benzoid, cocaine, amphetamine, marijuana, opiates, barbiturate, and tricyclic. . . .

"At 9:00 a.m. the patient became hypotensive. A code was called . . . At approximately 9:30 a.m. the patient was pronounced dead."
