The pt I took care of thied to end it all by crashing His car into a canal. He was drunk...His wife didn't love him ect. ect. The car Didn't sink as far as he wanted it too. Rescue managed to extract him before he could drown. The big mistake for him was he thought he had his car but it wasn't..I think the Police are still talking to him about the car he stole (by mistake)

Yes if she had pushed him that close to ending it all he should be making the most of his second chance and get himself happy lol
Very good story xx

how you didn't roll around in stiches i do not know but yes he was right to get a divorce. he may not have been the brightest biscuit in the barrel but to get to that stage he must have taken some stick from her which had to have made him worse.

thats funny in my book
what I dont get is that most when they fail at suicide they quit trying. Seems to me that they should try again because they found something else that they cant do right

it's only slightly funny because of the irony. I would feel sorry for him a little because he feels useless.

no. His wife was probably just pissed at him. Alot of people say things that they don't mean. The guy was drunk and he took it too seriously.

well i felt a little of both but mostly sorry for him. people get in their head that their luck is bad and then it seems to go that way. but that dudes luck is pitiful. he needs some self esteem

Neither. I'm amazed as to how weird circumstance made him survive it. It just shows how he is not meant to die yet.
