I confess I have not read this whole thread.
What Dr. Bob *can* do is alert whomever he can via his knowledge of the signer-oners ISP, and which has been done before (for which I am grateful!).
Beyond that, he (Dr. Bob) is not responsible for saving people who may talk about suicide (which I have done, even recently), or make suicidal gestures.
I feel only sadness that this would be the only place one would have to turn (ie, not a therapist, or pdoc, or friend, or ER, or mental heatlh facility, etc.).
I hope I don't get a PBC for this! Someone might read it and feel bad.......
