Hi Christine's Suicide

Decent Essays
Hi Christine, this is an interesting situation. First, because it seems like she is choosing to do this and not just an accident. If it were an accident, would it be reasonable to expect her to do it three days in a row while on the bus? I would think if she knows this is an issue she would try to solve it, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. The flip side to this is her motivation, if it is indeed deliberate why?
Is she trying to get attention, incontinence or does she have a mental problem that isn’t being addressed? I would say those are just as important to pursue as opposed to doing nothing like the supervisor choose. If she poses a bio hazard risk to everyone, every day she rides the bus that would also be important to address as well.
