    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.
