If sampling your friend’s suicide drink isn’t the definition of “too dumb to live,” I don’t know what is.
Sounds like good plausible deniability for finally getting off this rock
It sounds like the guy might have been suicide curious tbh
Idk, I feel like there’s something distinctly human about “let me see”.
It’s like when someone announces how bad something smells and everyone takes a big wiff of the air. The odds are good that someone close by will grab it and verify.
I recently experienced this when someone let one go in a server room. Multiple people walked in to check and I was the weird one for just watching and laughing.
Ah, the ole ‘courtesy sniff.’
“too numb to live”
It’s explained and pretty clear right from the start.
Can’t blame us if we get tempted like that.
I didn’t notice that it was the patient’s friend’s cocktail and got a solid dose of “what the fuck maple leaf country” before I noticed

Do they really just dump a month supply of sedatives in a cup and walk away?
It says there was an attending paramedic, so I wouldn’t say they walked away. Good thing the paramedic was there, too. I can’t imagine being the medically responsible person and watching someone do that.
I’d imagine a sedative overdose is the best way to go. First you get unconscious due to the sedative and once you don’t feel anything anymore your heart stops beating.
Agreed entirely, I just was surprised it was unsupervised enough that buddy had a chance to take a sip
The ultimate vacation.
Not just sedatives, digoxin (digitalis) and amitriptyline (tricyclic antidepressive) which are both extremely cardiotoxic in large doses. This stuff is really meant to get shit done…
does anyone know if the guy lived or died?
I mean it’s likely
Younger guy would probably be ok with ventilation and some narcan if they get quickly to a hospital and they didn’t drink much. Just a guess.
But they will have a hard time living that down.
He probably got run over by a bus as he got out of the hospital though.
Only if one of his friends ran infront first and said it sucked
I used to think Phenobarbarbital was sufficent for taking one’s life. That’s the only thing that gets discussed in media coverage of assisted suicide in my country.
IIRC, getting medication overdose to work is a coin flip depending on the patient. I think phenobarbital works pretty consistently, that’s why it’s not really prescribed for its non-lethal uses as often anymore, but they still throw in a bunch of other drugs in the euthanasia cocktail to increase the probability of a successful procedure.
It’s always better to end with a bang. Myth busters confirmed it.
I imagine the morphine and diazepam will make the patient calm sleepy and maybe even euphoric?
ok but the older guy probably died thinking his friend was going to die too… 😭
pictures for sad children.
As a medical student that gets nonsense like this as question stems on exams: “confused and horrified screaming”
Patient directed to sit down, lean forward, tuck head between knees, and kiss own ass goodbye.
While working in the ER I’ve seen some impressive ingestions, both intentional and unintentional. I can guarantee that if he survives, it ain’t gonna be a fun time. Off the top of my head, I think he’d be getting Narcan, Amiodarone, Flumazenil, cardiovascular and respiratory support, and probably hemodialysis. If he doesn’t die from the cocktail, the hospital bill might get him.
Almost sounds like a Dr. House episode
Pro tip don’t let your ADD friend stand near the death juice when you have your euthanasia party.
