We are unaware if Macdonald possesses any of the training.
What would he do if he was faced with someone discussing taking their own life, contact the authorities, the persons GP, and is he capable of assessing wording that would indicate a willingness to take their own life immanently, or a plea for help, etc?
A million and one scenarios, is he trained for this or is it just good will on his part, which is possibly not thought through?.
