I was referring to a answer another doctor made about psych wards and suicidal thoughts. is there a way to have a conversation on this with a doctor?

Talk to you doc: Suicidal ideation is taken seriously and should not be a topic on this kind of forum as your safety is paramount. Not all suicidal patients are admitted to psych wards, many factors are taken in to consideration, please talk to your doc asap.
