Man poisons himself.

"It is understood a man attempted to harm himself by swallowing pesticide organic phosphate."

That is so sad. That he would want to do that to himself. He must have been in a pretty bad way to do that. The worst thing though was one paramedic and others who tried to help him were badly affected by the fumes.So at least 4 other people were put at risk because they were trying to help him and you have to admire their courage. There has to be a better plan for dealing with people who try to poison themselves.I am not sure that it is common so we might need to be reminded of how we can deal with it. The man may not be okay and then the hospital staff may be affected while they are trying to treat him. He needs all the help he can get if he survives.
