I actually wish she had been choking on something but the situation was much more disheartening. At work I got a call in the office from a nurse in the 4'th psychiatry ward saying a suicidal patient by the name of Catherine had just escaped and was going to jump off the parking levels at the back exit of the hospital (14 levels). I didn't even have time to call the rest of my team as I saw her run down the hall and bolt left towards the exit onto the parking levels. I ran like mad and managed to catch her left wrist as she approached the edge, she swung around and punched me in the head at which point I tripped her and put her on the ground, with the adrenaline her strenght easily matched mine at the time.
I held her down long enough for the rest of the team to arrive and we put her flaling body on a wheelchair, brought her back to her room, put her in four point restraints and gave her injections of liquid Ativan.

All in a day's work I guess, I've got a million stories like that one, last attempted jump though didn't go as well as we wished and some of us had to be treated for shock as we saw a sweet and kind person end her life because of a mental illness called depression.

Well, my 14 hour shift is over, time for bed! Thanks for asking I like it when people drop me a message!

I hope you mean Don Cherry the hockey commentator, not Don Cherry the brilliant jazz musician.

A tu l'amour pour "Jesus de Montreal"? J'aime cette film.

The plaid wearing bigot who by the grace of some type of god or idiot assholes at CBC got to keep his job

d00d...way to sock it to him (show them Americans).

What makes that movie good? What sort of film is it?

The film is French but 1/3rd of it is in Spanish, another 3'rd is in English, takes place in Spain where these 7 people share a huge apartment to make their studies in the country more economical. You've got a British, French, Danish, Spanish, Italian, Belgian living under the same roof and get a potent amount of culture all wrapped into one movie. A stark contrast to North-American movies they belt out these days. Although you can't ever generalize, they do come out with some great flics sometimes.

All in all it's a wonderful comedy/romance and you should see it. It's proof yet again that France is taking it's movies much more seriously, since Amlie and Asterix & Obelix Mission Cleopatre they've had quite a repuatation to uphold and I find they're doing it rather well. I'm sure we can see many more great movies like Amlie and this one to come.
