Suicide Blip

Our trauma service has seen a disturbing increase in suicides and
suicide attempts over the past couple of months.  We're rural, so both
the numerators and denominators are small; but hear me out:  for January
and February, we have six registered self-inflicted major traumas.
That's half again as many for all of '07, and six times the total for
Jan/Feb '06 and '07 combined.  It's a blip; but it's a hell of a blip.  
 
Is anyone else seeing the same?
