teacherclaire Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) A police officer took his life on Saturday when he had visitors at the Sisaket hospital. He told his visitors that the only wanted "to get some air" on the balcony and jumped down. He was there because of psychological problems and had tried to take his life twice. RIP, poor bloke. 52 is too young to go. Edited August 9, 2020 by teacherclaire Added a photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post torturedsole Posted August 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2020 I'm unsure as to what the relevance of the headline has to do with one suicide event. RIP to the victim. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pookondee Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Just one suicide? Has there been recent news/data of a suicide spike in that area? Sounds like something you'd see in the Australian news.. 1 or 2 cases constitutes a "massive outbreak" or 2nd wave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Hna Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 That's a bit far fetched if that's it. The image is a bit naff too. This site has links to Samaritans just some Info which may be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacherclaire Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Apart me. The suicide rate in this city started to increase shortly after the General took power. A lot of younger people commit suicide, but you seldom hear that in the news. And it increased again when countless people have lost their income. I know a Psychiatrist, a dentist and a few Thai teachers who all back this up. Edited August 10, 2020 by teacherclaire 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saakura Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Hello Teacher Claire, if you are feeling suicidal, pls call the Samaritans. What is it that is troubling you, the 90 days report or Ed Visa or...? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is suicide such a funny topic for you? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been standard MSM practise right from the start of the pandemic in a number of countries that enjoy freedom of expression as a means of driving the fear agenda.Not that a fun dig at them is a crime. I am sure your post was solely intended as a bit of Aussie baiting and done in jest. Let's see if they bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantiSuk Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I don't think I'd choose a hospital to jump off if I were that way inclined. Too much risk they might put me back together again. Still logic and suicides don't go together. RIP fellah - hope you found your release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This hospital is ran by youngish "doctors" who are "learning by doing". Oops, was the wrong medication, sister! Let's go to the foreigner in room 13 now. If the freestyle jump doesn't kill you, they will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 It's on Thai mainstream media news already and it's not unique to Isaan either. At least two or three suicides a week but that's only the one's that are being reported. Not a whole lot of happiness going around right now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good friend's brother had tried twice to commit suicide. Then he landed in the Cuckoo's nest and received countless electroshocks at a meatal hospital. But that went- of course- wrong. The guy's poor mom, a rice farmer has to feed him in the morning, etc. Wife left him with two kids who stay with him. There's no Happiness all around.

AverageBloke Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I'm not being flippant but it's natural for suicide rates to climb with any strong economic downturn. As the upcoming global recession bites harder this will be the norm in every country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We first need the "flattening the curve" phase. And then the Bell Curve graph. Only kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
