I understand it totally. I recently moved out of my home state. I have, since then, been to the ER here for a few things. One time a migraine, another time kidney stones and another time strep throat. Everything was fine and dandy and they treated me great... Until... I ended up in the ER over a caffeine overdose, although I never mentioned it was suicidal related. I just let them believe I was trying to stay awake for studies or what-not. At first, everything was okay. Then one of the Dr's saw my arms where I used to cut over 8 years ago and I could immediately see the countenance change.
