i think people dont realize that alot of what happens behind the scenes is a waiting game.. we have to wait for xrays and cts to be done then read by the radiologist. we have to wait for labs and no lab test takes the same amount of time (there all diff schedules) and if you need a consult for surgery, ob/gyn, ortho, ect.. you have to take into consideration that they have other patients all over the hosp or they could be in surgery.. so its gonna take a bit.
but if you do come in and see, especially in triage, that were not backed up and you dont have to go to the waiting room BE HAPPY AND KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!
murphy's law: the second you say how quiet it is we get slammed..
on a more serious note.. suicide isnt a joke and needs to be taken care of like asap..
there for sure needs to be an outlet or group or something for everyone who feels that its the only thing they can do cuz there are so many other things!
annd. i hate when people come in for "attempted suicide".
i get it. life sucks sometimes.. but really?! come on.. open your mouth. theres places you can call just to talk to someone.. do that. dont mess up your life more!
top 5 ways people "attempt" suicide and end up in the emergency room:
1. over dose.
2. drinking.
3. strangling.
4.gun shot wounds.
5.cutting.
so drinking normally wouldnt be one but if you knew the affects of drinking so much, daily or at a time you would get it.. its horrible.
it really kills me when you see teens come in who have been in for multiple failed attempts or for depression. ive seen many with scars from cutting and i dont think they get that even if you pull yourself out of it, your stuck with that. for ever. thats a scar that will not go away and people know what you did. think about that.
MOST IMPORTANT!
if your going to od (again, not that i would evvver say its a good idea cuz there are so many more options than trying to kill yourself!) DO NOT OD ON TYLENOL! it will not work. not right away. you will kill yourself slowly and it will be painful. tylenol ruins your liver and you cannot live without it. last time i checked when you od or do anything to damage your liver purposely like drinking excessively they will not allow you to get on the transplant list. therefore, if your lucky enough, only your family could donate.. if your lucky..
ive seen it on so many medical shows and i think kids think because it can be accessed easily its a good idea. not. which is why parents shouldnt keep things like that out and need to talk to your kids more.. not hassle.. talk to!
if you or someone you know is thinking about suicide please pleasee! talk to someone.. i promise you are not alone. someone will miss you and does care now!

think before you act..
