You can seek a new Pdoc however, I can tell you any Pdoc you tell that you are having SI w/intent would do the same thing. I would be more concerned with somebody who did not. Look at it from her perspective. Somebody makes that comment then says I didn't mean it. If doc allowed that person to just leave without going further then the client left and DID complete suicide family members would be suing up a storm. Providers would rather be over cautious and have an angry but alive client than one that kills them self.

We recently had that very thing happen. Pt said she was no longer SI. We set up a great follow up plan with outside providers, pts husband was comfortable with the plan. 12 hours later she completed SI...we are now facing a huge lawsuit.
