Too many people take too many pills

Hmm, well I wouldn't recommend taking a whole handful of ibuprofen, but it probably shouldn't kill you (unlike a handful of acetaminophen/paracetamol, or opioids), it would be hell on your stomach, but I suppose fast-paced drama doesn't have time for realism.

I think chronic over-usage is a more serious concern. Taking even handful of pills is not that likely to result in permanent damage (unlike paracetamol). Up to 100 mg/kg shouldn't be that risky (so 20 400mg pills for somebody who weighs 80kg)
