what happened at the ER? i've always been curious. what could the doctors there possibly do?
First of all, I didn't have to wait, unlike my past experiences. i'm still 18, so i think i got the treatment of someone who's not legal yet. They checked my blood pressure, heartbeat, etc, asked me why I'm here and what I was planning on doing with the sodium nitrite (as if it wasn't obvious). had a psychiatrist come in and talk to me and ask what's going on and why i wanted to end it. Eventually they let me go home at 1.30am. in my experience, they were very easy going, and as long as i didn't explicitly say that i will kill myself the second they let me go, they allowed me to go home with no trouble. but now i have to meet with another psychiatrist + gp to discuss what i need to do next (therapy for example), so it didn't stop after I was released from the ER. Mind you I'm in the UK (England), so it might be different for you!
I know some shop systems that save your basket even if you close the browser and send you an e-mail
that you have an unfinished order. Although that where shops where I've registered before (had an account).
Exactly what happened, so might have been that.
if you put an item in your basket, the seller can get notified and have access to that information so the police got your info from that, just as someone above said. I got a call from the police too but I live in strict country so I assumed it's because my country monitor everything we see (I was too dumb to use VPN) but now I think it's maybe cause I put it in my cart to check what they would require for the purchase and such.
so bottom line don't put things in your cart unless you are READY to order and hide it.
Yeah, some people have said that. So yeah, definitly don't put things in your cart carelessly!!
How did you fill it out if the site is closed down for at least a week? Or did you fill out the information a while ago?
A long while ago. During feburary this year.
i'm extremely stressed now because i also filled out details without ordering. i live with my parents so if police comes to my house that will be the end of me (not literally unfortunately, but meaning no freedom and privacy anymore)
Oh yeah. I live with my parents too, so it was quiet nightmaric. But I think it depends on where you live? I live in the UK, and they're pretty strict on such stuff here.
They evaluate your mental condition based on previous actions, medical history and potential danger to yourself or others. If they assess you as a danger to self or others you may be given the option of going to a mental ward voluntarily, or in extreme cases you can be 'sectioned' in which case you are detained in a mental ward for, I believe, something like 28 days.
The use of the Police vehicle is not classed as an "arrest", I'm guessing it's just more convenient for all concerned. Where I live in a major town in Scotland waits of 4-8 hours for an ambulance are common, so in practical terms there can often be virtually no ambulance service at all for non emergency incidents.
Yes, exactly. They gave me an option to wait for an ambulance, but as you said, those can take up to a few hours, so it was just more convinient to be taken there in the police van. I was asked if I felt safe going home, and I just told them yes, which seemed sufficent enough for them to release me.
