[Trilby]

All the patients I admit who are depressed and suffering from "suicidal ideation" come to the hospital with two suitcases stuffed with clothes, hair dryers, make-up, cartons of cigs and the latest Grisham. The first thing they want to know is, "when is snack time?" The second thing they want to know is, "when can we smoke?" Hm. Guess they are really in-tune with their inner dialogue and are heading it off at the pass. Either that or they need to be admitted for the disability check to keep on a-coming. When my sister attempted to kill herself (OD) she not only failed to pack a bag, she had to be squaded into the ED--she was a tad more serious and a tad less game-y.
