I did. I don't agree with you. I think they're TM.

You have no proof, no evidence that they're TM. They came from a source that has already admitted two separate problems with pictures of TM. One they had to admit wasn't TM at all. The second is probably photoshopped.
But you "think" they're TM, so you feel free to use them as evidence for an assertion that has no other evidence, either.
by the way, do you have a link to a medical site that explains that codeine causes mild fatty liver? I can't find one. All I can find is sites like this one:
What causes fatty liver?
Fatty liver can be caused by certain chemical compounds, nutritional or endocrine disorders, and by genetic factors. Drugs and chemical compounds that can cause fatty liver include alcohol, tetracycline, methotrexate, valproic acid, cortisone and cortisone-like medications, carbon tetrachloride, and other solvents. Of these, alcohol is by far the most common cause. Liver inflammation may accompany exposure to these toxins and is responsible for the associated symptoms of fever, fatigue and jaundice.
Nutritional causes of fat in the liver include starvation, malnutrition, or obesity. Fat in the liver can also occur with rapid or extreme weight reduction such as might occur following an intestinal or gastric bypass operation for obesity. In some patients with fatty liver the fat is accompanied by inflammation (steatohepatitis), and occasionally the fat and inflammation may lead to scarring of the liver (fibrosis).
The endocrine causes of fatty liver include diabetes mellitus, elevated cholesterol or triglycerides, and fatty liver of pregnancy. Fatty liver during pregnancy occurs near the end of pregnancy and may result in premature delivery or termination of the pregnancy.
