What happens if you show up at the E.R. after an overdose ?!
Question: What happens if you show up at the E.R. after an overdose ?
I don't want to get my stomach pumped, but I want to make sure I am ok. I want to die, but I'll leave that detail out.. So if I tell them I was just stressed out and took 20-30 pills, will they just get me checked by a doc
And am I allowed refusing medical treatment or can they force me ?
I regrey taking all the pills, but I don't want to end up seeing a psychiatrist or anything like that
Answers:
Depends on the Country I guess... If it is 'life threatening' I'm sure they could just pump your stomach without your consent (not sure though). In Canada if you admit your self into a hospital as long as you don't say your suicidal you can leave at your own will (I think) Are you on Antideppressents? Sounds like your severely depressed. Depression is a chemical imbalance and can be corrected with meds. On the other hand certain meds can also cause that depressed person to want to kill themselves. I have several people I know that were severely depressed and no one knew, they in turn took their lives while leaving wounded children and family behind. Depression is also hereditary so maybe your Mom has it too? You could also be bi-polar, or manic depressive. I think you should do your research online, find out what you think is wrong (obviously there is an underlying problem - you have an imbalance) and go see your doctor to get some proper meds. I know you are hurting inside but if you keep it in you won't be able to get the help you need and possibly at the price of your life and others close to you (in terms of pain you will cause them) Everything can get BETTER! Trust me! Once you get one some stable med remove the things from yoru life that cause you stress, remember you can always change those catalysts. If you hate your job - Leave it! Find a new one! If your relationship sucks - Get out of it! Theres always light at the end of the tunnel
P.S. Get to the hospital right away, and let them be the judge of if you shoudl get your stomach pumped! QUICK before they kick in! PLEASE!!!
