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

does anyone know if the guy lived or died?

Younger guy would probably be ok with ventilation and some narcan if they get quickly to a hospital and they didn’t drink much. Just a guess.

But they will have a hard time living that down.

Do they really just dump a month supply of sedatives in a cup and walk away?

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.

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

“too numb to live”

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

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

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.

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.
