So You Want To Kill Yourself?

I used to work in an Emergency Department, and every so often we would get a customer who had tried to commit suicide. Note the operative word "tried". Most suicide attempts not only do not work, but the person ends up in a much worse situation afterwards. I used to joke about writing a pamphlet to warn people off of particular methods, because why try something that's only going to make a bad situation worse.

'Cause suicide is painless,
It brings on many changes,
And I can take or leave it if I please

-lyrics from the song 'suicide is painless' by Johnny Mandel and Mike Altman

NOTE: It's just a song, folks; and it's not actually true! Man is it ever NOT TRUE!
