So I'm sitting in report, listening to the nurse talk about a new admission, "Patient has plan to commit suicide with a gun, patient has no access to a gun." In that one half moment of silence one of my coworkers goes, "....Well maybe she should make another plan." The way he said it and the timing was so perfect. We all laughed so hard. Ahhh..... yeah. Some of the suicide attempts are actually the funniest stories. Now I KNOW that suicide isn't funny. And we give good treatment to these kids. We care for them very much. But when I hear that a girl tried to OD on folic acid because her dad wouldn't let her have more ice cream, I'm starting to think that depression isn't her big issue.
