I have a degree in Biomedical Engineering and Psychology from Northwestern University. I finished medical school and completed my M.D. at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. I am currently in my residency for surgery- hopefully to be specializing in neurosurgery.
I want to answer questions on medical type questions. I'm a big fan of Dr. Drew Pinsky on Love Line and would like to help younger people from the mistakes I see a lot of young people do when they come into my ER.

As a person in the medical field and someone who has attempted suicide before- I have a similar experience that you have to.
I don't know your age but there are options available for you. If you feel like you're really going to do it- you have to go down to your hospital emergency room. They will keep you safe and give you a place to rest and you'll be able to talk to someone there who can help you. Or if you don't want to do that you can call the national suicide hotline at: 1800 273 TALK.
If you don't want to do that- you can talk to a conselor that you trust.
Also you can always talk to your doctor. They can assess your suicide risk- who to contact- prescribe medicine- and most of all you can talk to them confidentiality (ie you don't have to worry about them telling your parents/friends/etc.).
If you need anything else, let me know.
