Nurse Suggests "More Lethal Method" for Suicide; Hospital Sued
According to the Dubuque Telegraph-Herald, an Iowa hospital is being sued by a woman who alleges that a nurse suggested that she choose a "more lethal method" for any future suicide attempt. The nurse later wrote to the woman and apologized for her remarks. The incident happened following the woman's fourth suicide try, reports the Dubuque Telegraph-Herald. The nurse had also commented that she hated people being a "drain on society." The lawsuit claims that the nurse's comments exacerbated the patient's depression.
