...whatever it is you're thinking of doing -- don't do it. Just don't.

I know you want to make a statement. I know you want to be heard.

You have a voice -- well and good. You want to use it? Excellent.

But for heaven's sake -- think about this, now -- use it in such a way that you can use it again tomorrow.

What you don't want is the poor night nurse cursing you because she hasn't got enough cling-wrap with which to cover you from head to toe, and the anaesthetist cursing you because his ventilator settings can't go any higher than they already are, and the plastic surgeon cursing you because there isn't enough skin left to take grafts from, and the resident on call cursing you because he can't defibrillate you through the cling-wrap, and the taxpayer on the street cursing you because his operation got postponed since five doctors and ten nurses are busy attending to you, and your parents/spouse/children cursing you because they have to sell their house to pay your ICU bill after you die.

If you really, really can't control yourself, at least do something less selfish. Like maybe robbing a bank.
