It says there was an attending paramedic, so I wouldn't say they walked away. Good thing the paramedic was there, too. I can't imagine being the medically responsible person and watching someone do that.

I'd imagine a sedative overdose is the best way to go. First you get unconscious due to the sedative and once you don't feel anything anymore your heart stops beating.

I used to think Phenobarbarbital was sufficent for taking one’s life. That’s the only thing that gets discussed in media coverage of assisted suicide in my country.

As a medical student that gets nonsense like this as question stems on exams: "confused and horrified screaming"

Almost sounds like a Dr. House episode

If sampling your friend's suicide drink isn't the definition of "too dumb to live," I don't know what is.

Sounds like good plausible deniability for finally getting off this rock

It sounds like the guy might have been suicide curious tbh

Idk, I feel like there's something distinctly human about "let me see".

It's like when someone announces how bad something smells and everyone takes a big wiff of the air. The odds are good that someone close by will grab it and verify.

I recently experienced this when someone let one go in a server room. Multiple people walked in to check and I was the weird one for just watching and laughing.

Ah, the ole 'courtesy sniff.'

"too numb to live"

It's explained and pretty clear right from the start.

Can't blame us if we get tempted like that.

ok but the older guy probably died thinking his friend was going to die too… 😭

I didn't notice that it was the patient's friend's cocktail and got a solid dose of "what the fuck maple leaf country" before I noticed
