My story is a true and strange story. I was working on a neuro unit in the mid 80's and has caring for a woman who shot herself in the head in an attempted suicide. She told me this story: The first time I tried to shot myself, I missed and the loud noise almost scared me to death. ( I thought the choice of words, unusual) Then I shot the gun again and it grazed my head and WOW did that hurt! (yeah! I bet) I climbed up the hill, as I was in the woods and flagged down a car for help.
