  1. You just have to remind yourself that this person is a patient, not your buddy or some random schmoe. We have an obligation not to judge them, and to treat them with respect no matter how stupid/mean/thoughtless/whatever they are. Not to mention the fact that you don't know what their situation might be. Maybe you think that suicide is never justifiable, but that really doesn't matter. This person could have severe depression, for example, or may not be in complete control of his or her actions due to some psychosis. If you had a patient who was injured in a gun fight with police, for example, how would you treat him or her? Surely that's worse, but the fact remains that we are here to treat patients, not to judge them or correct their behaviour.
