The missus, who is a nurse, reports one of the patients at her hospital tried to commit suicide by shoving a plastic bag down his throat. The poor man is dying from cancer. As suicide attempts are automatically moved to the psych-ward for observation and counseling, and I know her hospital recently closed its psych-ward, I asked if they had transferred the man to another hospital. No, she said, all they did was take the plastic bag away and increase the morphine.
If they won't transfer him, they may as well give him back his bag, but it’s a private hospital and I suppose they don’t want to lose a good customer either way.

That is probably the most creative suicide attempt I've ever heard of. Death by swallowing a plastic bag. Crafty!
hospitals love people whoare dying really really slowly, i mean, all you can do is bill them for eveything you can, but they'll never get better so you just keep trying.
