In the grand scheme of life, what do you wish to accomplish?
What is your desire?
Have you been slighted?
How do you plan on overcoming the difficulties that life throws at you?
How about being strong! Throwing difficulties to the wind!
Friends,
I have considered suicide many times in the past and have even attempted it more than once.
almost succeeding....
Then,
I realized that I wasn't a quitter.
Nothing can be worse.
Close, but not really!
I'm a winner and I'm gonna make my life count!
Who can I help?
Who can I show that life is the most precious gift?
How can I be remembered?
The .38 did not speak for me that night.....
Best,
Scott
Au24k,
Can't let this one just slide by. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Everybody contemplates suicide at points in their life. When one develops a plan then call me or someone like me. In then end nobody can prevent suicide from somebody who really wants to die. Three stories...
1. A chronic schizophrenic is seen by a doctor in the hospital. She undergoes ECT treatment and starts to make a remarkable turn around. The young doctor is told by her long term treatment team that this is the best she has every looked. After two weeks of treatments she is ready to try discharge. After being at home for two days her sister gets drunk and picks a fight with her. She is so angry at her sister that she threatens to kill herself. Her sister encourages the thought. The patient walks out of the house with a note strapped on her forearm and jumps off an overhead pass into oncoming freeway traffic. The sister identifies the body. SUICIDE is a violent act against the living.
2. A young physician is called by a colleague for an emergency consult on a long term patient of one of his partners. The consult is for possible suicidal ideation. The young physician meets with the patient after hours and does a one hour thorough interview. The physician looks for any reason to Baker act the patient and put him in the hospital. The patient gives him nothing. The young physician looks the patient straight in the eyes and says, "I believe you will be dead by tomorrow, is there anything I can do to stop you?" the patient says, "No I will not kill myself and no you can't." The next morning the young physician walks into his office. Waiting on his desk is the death certificate of the man he saw the previous night.
3. A young physician is called by for an emergency consult by a VIP. The VIP comes in after hours and it is revealed to the young physician that the VIP had a fully loaded gun in his mouth the night before. The VIP has a CWL, is an NRA member, and owns multiple guns. The young physician calls the police, they go to the VIPs house and seize all the guns. The VIP is held against his will in the physician's office until this is done. The VIP threatens the young physician with a team of lawyers and states he will never practice medicine in the state again. The VIP is released to go home. One week later, the VIP shows back up in the physician's office and says, "Thank you. You saved my life." The physician says he can now have his guns back, the VIP says, "I'm not ready for them, will you take me back as a patient."
There is always hope....
