A man was brought in after a suicide attempt. He took all of his propranolol (a beta blocker that lowers heart rates and blood pressure) and drank a liter of whiskey. We put him on the ventilator and worked on him all night. I ordered treatments I've never done before or since. We did high dose insulin and D10W (sugar water), high dose lipids, got meds brought in from outside hospitals, plus the usual vasopressors. He walked out of the hospital after a brief stay in the psych ward. I celebrated it as one of my biggest wins 3 months later, I'm called to the ER for an admit. A bunch of cops are hanging around as I walk in. He did it again, this time less severe. But in the process, he shattered his girlfriend's face with his fist and assaulted a cop. I hated every moment of saving his life again
