Tylenol is a *brand* of acetamenophen. Hospitals would use one brand or
another of acetamenophen with or without Tylenol's marketing campaign,
just as they'd use ibuprofen with or without Motrin's marketing.
It's like if GMC gave away vehicles for use as ambulances. It would
convince a lot of ambulance services to use GMs instead of Fords, but
wouldn't be the main factor in convincing them to use motor vehicles.
