The patients that get me the most are the ones who call 911 claiming a Tylenol OD. EMS rushes out there. They start an IV and do their assessments. They come in, take up a bed, get charcoal, and a workup only to find out that their acetaminophen levels are ZERO!! I mean if you are going to try to get some attention by attempting to take your life....at least attempt something. Posers! Fakers! Liars! OH the desperation of some people! I think if you are so into yourself that you pull a stunt like that because you aren't getting the attention you think you deserve, then you just don't have enough to keep your mind occupied! Volunteer or something. Do some worth while activity to help your community and get your mind off of yourself. There are people out there with REAL problems that could use your help and resources!

I love it! I know that suicide and mental illness is not a traditionally funny topic. However, when you've work the 'biz' long enough and see people's pathetic attempts to cry out for attention- it does get a little ridiculous! Stop being babies! If you hurt emotionally, get help! Don't try to get as much sympathy as you can to make sure people care about you in the first place!
