On Friday at 1am my Dad attempted suicide by overdosing on paracetamol. This was his third attempt. He is a paranoid schizophrenic who was sectioned at in 2010 and 2014 after attempts on his life. On Friday he was
found alive by my Mum at 9am who called 999 and told them he had taken 96 tablets. After 40 minutes 999 called my Mum to say they were going to prioritise another patient and would attend when they could. Over an hour after my Mum called 999 an ambulance finally arrived.
