What was the most difficult question?

A long, ridiculously drawn-out ethical question involving a kid that walks into the ER while I'm a physician: "what if he's drunk? what if he got drunk in a suicide attempt? what are the steps you take then? how do you comfort him? what if his suicide attempt was because he was gay? what do you tell him while waiting on crisis to arrive? what if a nurse calls him a derogatory name due to his homosexuality? what if that same nurse were to have another patient in the future that is gay? how do i handle that whole situation?"
