Letter of Commendation for an Unknown Fireman

I'm writing to commend one of your Presidio Firemen

 

I accosted this tall young man with another Fireman in the Marina Safeway and proceeded to interview him, steering the conversation towards suicide off the Golden Gate Bridge.

As soon as I began to ask him, "Are there other places around in the Presidio where people successfully commit suicide?"

He asked,

"WHY, ARE YOU THINKING OF COMMITTING SUICIDE?"

I've met many an clinician who wasn't nearly as good a diagnostician as this man

 

"No, I'm a survivor: I already tried to jump off the GOLDEN GATE Bridge

THE MEN IN BLUE INTERVENED

My first attempt was aborted when

A GOOD SAMARITAN INTERVENED

so I spent some hours stalking the Presdio looking for another place to jump and I've always been curious what would have happened if I HAD found such a place.."

Your Fireman had

the presence of mind and the intellectual curiosity to start INTERVIEWING ME
about what goes on the mind of someone when they are up there..what exactly allows One to JUMP OFF THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE

 

He's going to use that information to save others.
And there seems to be no research on his research question. I think he needs a fat grant to study all the ways we could intervene and save all these unnecessary deaths

 

My appreciation to all those in uniform who rescued a impaired Nurse

from death...so many times....
