[dagogo redux]

I’m a shrink, and have dealt with pretty rough crowds most of my career. For 25 years, I have seen several hundred new patients every year who want to do nothing more than kill themselves or someone else. If any of them ever do, my a$$ could be grass professionally.

To top it off, the law ties my hands about what I can and can’t do, and to top it off even further, law dictates - unlike LEOs or ANY other profession - that it is MY responsibility (sitting in my office) to protect all the people involved.

Anyone who hasn’t walked in the shoes of this doctor, and who doesn’t lay their careers on the line repeatedly, trying to treat dangerous illnesses with less than perfect but most often life-saving medicines, can go pound sand.

Since you've been doing this 25 years, I would imagine you've treated approximately 5,000 patients. So out of thousands of mental patients, none have killed themselves?

That’s one heck of a job you have there! You are a brave soul.
