The FDA came out with some ruling in early 2014 limiting the max dose to 350mg, but I googled and they still sell Extra Strength which is 500mg and they tell you take two every six hours. Seems like your liver would be destroyed in a couple days...

I am guessing tons were sent to hospitals and MD offices free to begin the trend.

You have no idea. It is, or at least was, much more than free samples. The "gifts" showered by drug salesmen on doctors in that timeframe was, well, bribery. I am told that has been reigned in, so I don't know the current state of affairs.
