I still remember the last suicide I worked before I retired. I had already put in my retirement papers. There was nothing special or memorable about it, just a routine suicide. But it just tore me up. Basically, I've had enough.

Yea, you'll see it all in your line of work. When I was 20 I wanted to be a paramedic. In our county 90% of the ambulance was volunteer, so I did that up to my EMT 2. We got paid $5 per run as volunteers. I saw several suicides, worse, the failed attempts. I decided then it wasn't worth the pay and went on to other adventures.

Anyway, wife got more details, he and his wife got into a major fight Thursday night. He packed and told her he was leaving, why she didn't call until 48 hours later.

Was a lil shocked, the police called my wife about the dogs, when they went the vile he used still hooked up, his wallet on the counter, his funds
in his box. He left a brief letter that was still taped to the door.
