That happened to me once. I also had severe carpal tunnel syndrome at the time, so I asked the woman if I might put her on the speakerphone because it was so painful to hold the receiver. She said she'd hang up on me if I did so!
Then, after hearing me out (on why I called) she said, "Sorry, can't help you. There's nothing we can do." Then she offerred to transfer me to a number of a psychiatric hospital. She transferred me to the wrong number.
Moral: I shan't place any faith any more in so-called suicide hotlines!
