Over 30,000 Americans will take their own lives this year. More people die by suicide each year than homicide, yet suicides rarely make the nightly news. Sometimes it’s hard to know when someone you love and care about may be hurting inside and may need help. If your friends or family are thinking about killing themselves, and they don’t tell you, how can you help them? You can help because there are signs and clues before someone attempts to hurt or kill themselves, a prelude that you may be able to recognize after reading this information. Anyone can commit suicide. Suicides...

It’s awkward getting a eulogy (literally good words) spoken about me at someone else’s funeral. This patient I had known prior to them becoming my patient, and his wife had been very nice to us when we first moved here from up north. But that’s not why I am writing this. As I was sitting in the service, the thought occurred to me that a patient’s funeral would be considered by many to be a failure for a doctor. Certainly there are times when that is the case — when the...

You know how when you don’t talk to a good friend for long enough you can’t just call them up because the convo will take forever and you need to have the time to have it?  This is where we’re at. So much has happened and yet I don’t feel like talking about any of it.  The funeral is finally over.  It was crazy.  It took me the whole week to get over the madness of it.  I guess on the upside, it was such a circus that I didn’t have to cry about my Grandpa?  OK not really an upside. Mark is still here.  He missed me.  In fact, he’s back in my bed.  We went from starting to divide up our stuff to planning a backyard project.  The roller coaster is making me crazy yes.  And my face is paying the price.  I look like a hormonal teenager with ...

I am going to be spending the next 4 days down with my family.  We have the funeral, a memorial, a burial, some sort of party, a church service, probably a circus and I think I heard something about a concert?  I’ve been referring to this extravaganza as funeralpalooza.  I mean really?  4 days? I plan on being the drunk in the corner the whole time.  Who’s going to stop me?  And if they do?  O well wont they feel pretty foolish when I bark back with tails of my husband leaving me for no reason and divorce. …I said I’d work on separating out the crap...

I went to visit Chiwardizo for a couple of days soon afterwards. Photo: J Stavropoulou | Chiwardizo Clinic, Bindura The patio of Chiwaridzo clinic, in the north-eastern city of Bindura, is filled up with cholera cases from a community called Kingston Farm. The local health authorities plan to go there and I ask if I can go along with them. “Aa, no problem we will come just now to pick you up.” Photo: J Stavropoulou | Treating a man at Chiwardizo Clinic They then all get in a white pick-up truck and drive off leaving me standing in the clinic’s patio; I won...

With Mika’s passing, its been an odd mix of emotions, sure, but its also been really strange.  Facebook has really changed the way the world works. How did I find out about Mika’s passing?  Well?  My friend Tra texted me on my blackberry at which point I called her immediately and we cried about it.  Then?  I went onto Facebook where I had been sent an invite to the memorial service by an old friend - along with a very large group of high school friends - and I sent her a message as well.  We then tag teamed each other’s Facebook inboxes for a bit - never forgetting that this w...

Unfortunately, like many stories on suicide, the article is thin on actual data to back this idea of an “epidemic.” When crossing international boundaries, one has to understand different cultures’ takes on taboo topics. Suicide is one such topic, and one where culture has a significant impact on how it’s viewed. For instance, in Japan suicide has practically been raised to a virtue, where committing suicide is seen as the honorable thing to do when one’s life seems to be going wrong: A suicide fad is sweeping Japan: Hundreds of Japanese have killed themselves this year by mixing ordinary household chemicals into a lethal cloud of poison gas that often injure...

That topic is your own death, and planning for it. I think it’s natural human nature to not want to talk about our own deaths, or think about them. Most of us certainly don’t such a thing a moment’s thought if we’re under 30. As we hit 30, though, usually our life starts to change. We get married, we have children, we settle in for a long-term career. And our Ford Escorts get replaced by Honda Accords, we move from an apartment to a house, and we start accumulating other kinds...

You see, Captain America has been gunned down. And his buddies -- Wolverine, the Avengers, Iron Man, and Spider-Man -- are battling with denial, anger, bargaining, and depression. The whole story will be revealed when the latest issue, Fallen Son, hits newsstands July 5th, the day after Independence Day. Loeb, also an executive producer for NBC's Heroes, chose his storyline to represent current politics. "Part of it grew out of the fact that we are a country that's at war, we are being perceived differently in the world," he says. "He wears the flag and he is assassinated -- it's impossible not to have it at least be a metaphor for the complications of pre...
