but with http://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/2760.html?thread=5483720#cmt5483720 it just sort of struck me. What are the general guidelines for dealing with suicide attempts?
My suicide attempt was pretty half-assed. A deliberate overdose, and after a night in the cardiac ICU and another in the general ward. Things were pretty much "Are you going to do this again?" "OMG no, this was too embarrassing. Think I'm gonna change meds too." "Kay, here's your bill." "Hey, ambulance charge? I'm a member!" "Oops, sorry.... we'll just fix that."
Although before that, the last time I was in hospital it was because I was being born, and I'm a pain wimp, so it's not like I went around collecting scars for the most part.
I guess I'm just asking- how do hospitals determine who to put on suicide watch? Are signs of physical injuries given more attention vs purely mental issues?
Ok, I'm just being a chatty bitch here-
