I have this curiosity to know the number of patients the average p-doc has who kill themselves.
I asked this of my p-doc several times, every time she says "none." I was shocked. She even said none for her residency. Then I started to think that she must not see people with big problems.
Is suicide really that rare? I know it is next to impossible to predict. Is it evil to think that all p-docs should have some patients kill themselves because it might be good experience for them?
Teehee, I wonder how many of Dr. Bob's patients killed themselves? I'll guess 5. Is this a reasonable guess?
Hmmm...what about your average T? What would the average be there? Maybe 2?
I wonder how many students die from suicide in university in a year...maybe 4? Or more? I'm just totally guessing here.
I wonder how many people who visit the bad place I go to sometimes actually go through and kill themselves? I'm certain people have gone through with their plans there. I'll guess 20 a year?
