[QUOTE="over9five, post: 343685, member: 1401"] [b]Re: Maybe not grotesque, but....[/b] ....I guess just the saddest thing. I was a small town EMT for several years during HS and college. We once responded to a call of a suicide. The guy had run his car in his garage to kill himself. We found him against the garage door, and all I could imagine was him smoking his last cigarette watching the world go by out the window untill he dropped. Another time a young girl called who had taken a bottle of sleeping pills, and then changed her mind about wanting to die. What a ride to the hospital! Better step it up, I kept yelling to the driver. She made it. Another one was responding to the high school dance one night. "Girl in distress" the call said. She certainly was! She was unconsious in the girls room. She had drank a quart of whiskey, a pint of tequilla, the list went on! 15 or 16 years old. NOT a pretty picture, that ride. She made it too.
