American Medical Assoc. also only reports one doc by that last name. So, I'm SURE Bob has contacted him.

---Dr.Mark Lassise isn't a member of the AMA as reported by the AMA database. The database know him but only as a 'NonMember'. Also you need to know WHO Kattwoman is in order to have her doc take care of her. I have infos which Dr.Bob may not have ..

Just FYI for everyone, Dr. Bob does have personal and ISP information on posters, which he can use as he sees fit (or not) in these sorts of situations.
Which doesn't mean he/we don't appreciate any extra efforts to assist....we do. Thanks so much for caring....

It would great if an admin could post something on that thread just to let posters know that admin is aware. It can really freak people out to stumble upon such a thing.

Didn't say he was....I was just trying to be helpful.
>Also you need to know WHO Kattwoman is in order to have her doc take care of her.
Perhaps her name is Katt? And perhaps she is a woman? :-)
>I have infos which Dr.Bob may not have ..
Maybe you should email him with the info?

The idea here is for posters to support each other, and I thought that might be a way to support other posters.
FYI, someone was able to check on her, and she was OK.

i'm not trying to make light of a situation that appears to not be lighthearted (i have no idea what is going on at all of this situation, i assure you!), but i'm jsut glad someone finally said somethign about beign asked to do something rather than him doing it himself!
thank you!!

Many kind posters were offering support to Katt. That's our role. Explaining to everyone what, if anything you and/or your team are doing isn't my job, IMO.

I learned at an early age that it's best to do things yourself.
Around age 3 apparently I called out to my mother in the middle of the night. She came to my room to check on me. I explained that I was very sleepy, but had to go weewee. So, .....I asked her to go for me. :-)
I'm sure she got a good laugh out of it.

For shame, for shame, for shame Dr. Bob---asking ordinary babblers to deal with suicidal individuals. We have no idea where these people are, or at least most of us don't. You have their real names, etc. It is your responsibility. It is your site. If you don't want to be responsible for this site, then in my opinion you need to shut it down.

> For shame, for shame, for shame Dr. Bob---asking ordinary babblers to deal with suicidal individuals.
One of the potential risks here is that it may be hard to deal with issues like suicide that come up. Those who are willing to do so can, and those who aren't don't have to.
I didn't consider letting posters know that we were aware to be dealing with a suicidal individual. Muffled, thanks for doing that.

You can pass the buck on anything else here, Bob, but not on suicide. It's fr*gg*ng SUICIDE. What could be more important to a psychiatrist? Suicide and it's fallout, death and it's aftermath...and you delegate?
It's not right.
Yet again, you disappoint, and you hurt me personally. I don't handle the topic well (maybe you don't remember who I am), and dumping that on me really freaked me out.

Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. I did dump it on you when I replied to your post, and I should've just asked more generally if anyone else minded doing it. One of the nice things about a group is that if one person can't do something, usually someone else can.
Would you be willing to say why this freaked you out so much?

> BobAbbie,
I am requesting to you that you take under advisement from various sources before you reply to Mr. Hsiung's request to you to say.{...why this...].
Then after you take under advisement, you could consider as to if a public posting of {why}, could be good or not for you since it could bring up again.
I base my request to you from what I see in what you have written here. One statement being,[...I don't handle the topic well...].
If that be the case here, then it could IMO bring up the topic that you do not handle well again by composing a post in relation to answering Mr. Hsiung's question to you. And in my readings of aspects of this type of situation from various psychologists/psychiatrists, there could be a counterpoint.
So my perspective here is caution and preventative in nature that I think that knowing your own self in relation to this situation here could mean IMO that a time period of some nature could be helpfull to you before you reply to the question of {why}, if you are going to reply at all to it. Mr. Hsiung does ask if you are willing to reply to {why}. I think that an exploration as to the ramifications of a reply couild be in order before you reply, if you reply at all.
You see, it is my great conviction that your writings here are not without significance, and that you are writing about in your opinion what could be serious consequences about a connection to your great distress. In my opionion, there could be closly linked aspects in the discussion here that may be unbeknownst to you or others that IMO it could be more helpfull to consullt others and reflect upon what it is in the situation that could perhaps be counterproductive to your health in relation to a reply to {why} that you could compose to post.
Another suggestion could be to email with other members before you post a reply to {why} to get their perspective as to if posting it could be good or not for you, and could you email Mr. Hsiung without posting a reply?
Other reasons to take under advisement before posting your reply to {why}

Yes it was very kind of Lou and Abbie when working in psych we had to have formal training for crisis intervention. So it's not your responsibility in my opinion. All we can do is support the poster. Thanfully Marty did the hard work. Thanks again Marty. Love Phillipa
