Get a call for an Emotional Disorder, MDT says patient is the reporting party, is suicidal and is threatening to kill himself. After PD clears the scene we head in and begin the assessment on a mid 50's gentleman with obvious chronic ETOH abuse issues. His residence is literally across the street from the hospital we are going to transport him to. I casually ask him why he didn't just walk across the street and go directly to the ED. And the guy, who is supposedly suicidal says, "I didn't want to take the chance that I would get hit by a car and get killed".
