Alexander Lewis said:👎That is incredibly tasteless, especially when you’re acting tough toward people who are likely dealing with severe psychological struggles. Those individuals need psychiatrists, not technicians playing games.

Furthermore, according to the United States Code:

Section 96.

(1) Whoever encourages another to commit suicide or assists in their suicide, resulting in death,
shall be punished by imprisonment from six months to three years.

Imagine if someone actually followed your advice with a firearm and left a note thanking you for the help. Do you really want to be responsible for blowing out a mentally ill person's brain? Do you want to land yourself and your coworkers in prison? Is there even a shred of compassion or humanity left under that uniform?

☕...man, just chill out...it’s a beautiful day today, why don't you go for a walk or grab a latte on a patio somewhere...if you can't read something properly here, just scroll past...it’s that simple...if you just want to lecture everyone and put on a little drama, go find another stage elsewhere..."shred of compassion and humanity under that white coat...""tough guy"...☕...good grief...

Personally, I think living in America and having to listen to certain politicians gives people more than enough incentive to end it all...I mean, I seriously consider checking out myself sometimes just seeing how I can't open a single news app or website without being hit by this kind of soul-crushing news that just wrecks the brain of any average, normal citizen in this country...

And what kind of "technicians" are you even talking about?...obviously, people who survive an attempt go to a psychiatrist...but where else would they go once they're stabilized?...to some technician for therapy?...

Yeah, looks like this whole thread—mostly thanks to me—has gone completely off the rails...I'm inviting you to drop one more reply if you really want to keep this detour going until we finally close the topic...

I know I’m digging up an old topic here, but I had a bit of a scare yesterday during my chemo session. I felt what was definitely air entering through the IV line—maybe two small bursts, about an inch each? I have no idea how many milliliters that actually is since I don't know the diameter of the tubing, but it felt significant. My nurse didn't seem particularly concerned, which is strange because back when I was on the heavy-duty rounds, they were incredibly meticulous about making sure zero air entered the system. Now, I'm sitting here spiraling, reading all these horror stories about pulmonary embolisms, and honestly, I'm terrified. I mean, if the aggressive chemo treatments and the metastases haven't finished me off yet, is a little bit of air really what's going to do it? J

I was wondering if anyone knows what they call it when you get air bubbles in your bloodstream during an infusion? Also, I guess maybe a headache could be one of the symptoms?

I’ll probably end up doing the same thing eventually. I've been dealing with a lifetime of baggage. My father tried to take his own life by cutting his wrists while my mother was pregnant with me, and I've been living with the fallout and the physical consequences ever since. I suppose this will be a fitting little tribute to him for what he put through both Mom and me. 🙂 🙂
