Question: What will get you seen quicker by a doctor ? Having suicidal thoughts / or an overdose where you're out of it?
When going to the E.R...What will get you seen by a doc the fastest.. Having suicidal thoughts or having overdosed and being pretty whacked out of it ? And if you overdose, do they have you wait in the waiting room until a doc sees you ?

Answers:

Don't listen to richard you are not charged with a crime. No matter if you try killing yourself or tell them you are suicidal you go to the same place. Only difference is if you try overdosing, you are put to the ER to be cleared and then go to Psych Triage, and if you go there for just having thoughts, you go straight to Psych Triage. Triage is basically a secure waiting room that you can't leave. You can be there up to 9 or 10 hours in my expirience just waiting for them to find a room, a psychiatrist, what ward to put you on, why you are there, and other things like that.

So no matter how you go in, you're going to be in a big waiting room for 10 hours. Better if you just make a regular doc appointment so you can see a doctor, get on medicine, and take that medicine within a couple of hours.



If you actually attempt to kill yourself you will get charged with a crime and will be hospitalized in a mental institution, it isn't something you want. You can however go to the ER at a slow time and tell them you are having suicidal thoughts and you don't trust yourself, tell them you actually started to take the pills but stopped and went there.



If you have suicidal thoughts they will evaluate you. If you od, they will take you in, and pump you full of charcoal, and hope that you haven't destroyed your liver and kidneys.
If you just go tell them you are going to kill yourself, they will take you or send you to someplace that will take you.

neither, dont do it, it just wont work, try waiting to for one to come out and see you, thats what i did when i cut my gut open.



Well...isn't an overdose the action of a suicidal thought? If you are more serious about being suicidal people will take you more serious.
