I get so confused. We are told that suicide is a right, even for the mentally ill. Then, we hear that doctors should monitor their depressed patients for suicidal ideation. From the Medical News Today story:
After receiving a small number of complaints that criticized GPs for failing to appreciate that a patient represented a suicide risk, GPs are being advised to ensure they regularly assess patients with depression for risk of suicide.
Unless they have cancer? Like I said, I get so confused.
