air embolism?

[sadbadpsychogirl]

has anyone ever tried this? i did a couple of years ago but it didn't work. maybe the chamber of the needle was too small. (it was a typical insulin syringe)

About 100ml of air are needed. Move on.

In Final Exit the author talks about this, basically concluding that it doesn't work

It's blunt but I'm sure @Aap meant nothing personal. Regular members (definitely including me!) can just get frustrated at the mass of new members always posting the same kinds of very obvious questions, rather than them doing a search for existing threads on the topic first. It adds clutter to the forum, and makes it more work for us to find and respond to genuinely unanswered questions. It also fails to appreciate and utilise the effort of those experienced members who have answered these obvious questions in their existing threads.

Various ineffective or improbable methods such as air embolism, alcohol overdose, dehydration/fasting, water overdose, acetaminophen/paracetamol overdose, rat poison or antifreeze are frequently raised by new members, instead of their searching for the topics first, and just the collective laziness involved does get pretty tiring to witness. Please note this is not to imply that any single new member has done anything massively wrong. But it's a small gaffe on the part of each new member that adds up when seen from the perspective of regular users.

I hope this explains the context a little better.

There was nothing wrong with your question at all, as I wondered about about the same option. I am now intrigued and plan on researching this very procedure. Thanks for raising the question!

The search is working again. Do a search for it, and you'll find explanations on why it simply isn't practical.

Oh, you. You never fail to elicit a very dry chuckle.

Well, that's got to be better than a very wet chuckle, I assume.
