Why are er personnel so hostile to people who are suicidal and self harm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shouldn't be: People who go to the er are sick. We should understand that sickness comes in many forms, and sometimes people are suicidal because they are depressed, a form of disease. They of all people should be more understanding. If you have problem, ask to talk to the department chief and discuss it, someone has to listen. That is how we promote health.
