A top emergency room doctor at a Manhattan hospital that treated many coronavirus patients died by suicide on Sunday, her father and the police said.
Dr. Lorna M. Breen, the medical director of the emergency department at NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital, died in Charlottesville, Va., where she was staying with family, her father said in an interview.
Tyler Hawn, a spokesman for the Charlottesville Police Department, said in an email that officers on Sunday responded to a call seeking medical assistance.
“The victim was taken to U.V.A. Hospital for treatment, but later succumbed to self-inflicted injuries,” Mr. Hawn said.

Dr. Breen, 49, did not have a history of mental illness, her father said. But he said that when he last spoke with her, she seemed detached, and he could tell something was wrong. She had described to him an onslaught of patients who were dying before they could even be taken out of ambulances.
“She was truly in the trenches of the front line,” he said.
He added: “Make sure she’s praised as a hero, because she was. She’s a casualty just as much as anyone else who has died.”
“Dr. Breen is a hero who brought the highest ideals of medicine to the challenging front lines of the emergency department,” Lucky Tran, a spokesman for NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia said in a statement. “Our focus today is to provide support to her family, friends and colleagues as they cope with this news during what is already an extraordinarily difficult time.”

on 4/27/20 at 4:20 pm to Grateful RebI have friends who work in ERs and I have no idea how they do it mentally.
Some of the stories are so beyond fricked up and you essentially have to be emotionless to work in that kind of environment.

Just saying. Tragic all around.

on 4/27/20 at 4:27 pm to Grateful RebAre they suggesting that an ER doc committed suicide because of the trauma from seeing elderly patients dying from a upper respiratory virus?

No record. Every female ER doc, and most of the nurses, I have met had a screw or three loose.

Nah, but some suburban peds nurse in a Southeastern suburb will probably post the article with something like "please pray for those of us on the front lines..."

I didn't realize double pneumonia was an upper respiratory disease.

on 4/27/20 at 4:32 pm to Grateful RebHmmm... does this happen to coincide with the RN saying that docs were essentially “murdering” patients in New York?
