CH: I didn't answer the calls because I am not a certified clinical psychologist or LSW. I worked with people who did answer the calls. They would be pretty shaken up, but that was part of their job. The receptionist who took "that" call was really shook up. The first words out of that caller's mouth was, "I have Drano right here with me. What are you going to say to stop me?" Needless to say, the receptionist transfered her to a psychologist right there on the spot, who talked to her.
