About one million people (in US) attempt suicide a year and cost the nation $500 billion. How is this cost calculated and why is this figure so high ($500,000) for each attempt?

An ex girlfriend of mine is an operating room nurse. She had a case one day of a guy who tried to kill himself by shooting himself in the mouth. Well, he didnt do his research because all he did was blow his face off and paralyze himself from the neck down. Now he gets to live like that forever, after incurring massive medical debt from the surgery and lifelong medical care being fed through a tube and having someone change his diapers. Im sure all that costs way more than half a mil, and i doubt its all getting paid off.
