    Unfortunately it’s necessary in a place where people regularly receive life changing or ending news.

      It’s the first hospital where I’ve seen something like this, though.

      I can just guess that there must have been some kind of incident at that place that triggered the installation of the safety nets.

        Sure and the incident was a suicide, no question about it.

        Former girlfriend of mine had a patient jump out of a window after his late stage cancer diagnose.

          Thats why assisted death/suicide should be more legalized and talked about. I mean in such a case, the case is pretty simple. In such a case, they need a second doctor from outside to confirm the diagnosis, get a notary or some kind to confirm that this is the wish of the patient and they got all the necessary information. I guess in a week they should have the clearance.

          This way someone can leave the world on their terms, without pain or traumatizing or hurting bystanders.
