The man actually asked House what the best method was. If I recall House told him to take some aspirin and then hang himself. Suffocating being preferred over neck snapping, if I recall correctly.
They did not show it however, Wilson established an alibi for them while House waited in the hall.
I remember reading the reviews for that one. Good lord.
No, death-by-jellyfish really isn’t the way to go. Sheesh, did these people even think for a moment?
On a second thought, don’t answer that.
And parking is like $5.
I wondered about that myself.
This. Shove the barrel of the pistol deep into your mouth and pull the trigger. The shot will blow out the back of the head where the spinal cord comes in and you will turn off like a light switch, but no harvestable organs would be damaged.
Unfortunately, I saw that movie. I was definitely rooting for the jellyfish.
Of course, the method in that movie makes no sense.
He puts himself in an ice cold bathtub with a poisonous jellyfish. Wouldn’t the poison ruin his organs? Idiot.
I’ve read that the Chinese shoot political dissidents in the back of the neck to preserve the organs for donation.
I think I’ve seen the same episode you’re thinking of, and it’s not ER, which I never watched. It was one of those lawyer shows, probably Ally McBeal or The Practice.
The would-be donor was a convicted murderer, with a life sentence, suing for the right to end his own life to save his daughter. In the end he escapes from custody, goes to a hospital, holds the doctors at gunpoint and demands they prep him for surgery, then shoots himself.
One of the neighbors on “Desperate Housewives” just did this very thing. She handed the nurse the donation papers, which named Susan as the recipient of her kidney, and then shot herself in the head.
One might try a Captive Bolt Pistol, in lieu of an actual firearm—some are gunpowder-driven, so it’s not like you’d have to haul an air compressor into the ER with you. It might be better to use than a gun if you want to end up alive-but-brain-dead enough to end up on life support, rather than an unusable corpse with an exploded head.*
*Band name.
This, After you have been wheeled to a surgery, Organs start decaying almost right away, Get on the table and fire away.
I thought you were talking about the Clint Eastwood movie.

…you couldn’t have used a spoiler box for that..? Thanks, PL!
I vote bullet in the brain stem.
If you could figure a way to have a few pirhuana eat out the same said area, that would be interesting. And less messy. (I hear they use napkins.)
Is DH still on? I thought it was over. I hollered at a mod to spoiler it for others, though.
Is done.
Big Thanks, Big T and Czarcasm!
Now I’ll just have the pirhuana eat out the pre-spoiler-box part of my brain.
A deep slash across the throat, while in the hospital, should do the trick, right? Of course that’s much harder than pulling a trigger.
It’s easier to fix, too.
I’m no surgeon, but it seems if one went deep enough - totally severing arteries and cutting into the esophagus, there’s no way to save the patient in time. Again, it’d be physically and psychologically difficult but, short of a guillotine, it offers a clean death for organ harvesting – plus it’s portable.
ETA: One would need a serious knife, I imagine. A highly sharpened chef’s knife would make it a lot more achievable than your average pocket knife.
