if you tell a pdoc you have a plan of harming yourself i believe they must admit you to a hospital, IMHO. having said that i'm not sure if this law is nationwide or not. however it doesn't have to be like dragging you away...a pdoc should be understanding and gentle with someone who is so fragile in this type of situation. a psych ward would be the best place for treatments of this severe a situation.
if you went to an emrgency room with this same info the same would apply. course then we get into insurance issues.
is this something going through your mind? if so, you do need to tell your pdoc so he can help you. let us know how you are doing, k?
