Prominent Manhattan E.R. doctor on coronavirus front lines kills herself

A prominent Manhattan emergency room doctor who had treated a staggering number of coronavirus patients killed herself in Virginia, authorities said Monday.
Dr. Lorna Breen, 49, the medical director of NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital's emergency department, committed suicide in Charlottesville, a spokesman for the local police department told the Daily News.
Spokesman Tyler Hawn said police responded to a call Sunday seeking medical help, and Breen was rushed to UVA Health System University Hospital but succumbed to self-inflicted injuries.
"She gave what she had, and she's a casualty of the war in the trenches, as far as I'm concerned," her father, Dr. Philip Breen, told The News. "She's a true hero."
Breen's father said the crush of coronavirus cases his daughter handled was overwhelming, and that she herself became ill with COVID-19, though she went back to work after a week and a half. She had no history of depression, he said.
"She was a very outgoing, very energetic person who, I don't know what snapped, but something blew up in her, and so she ended up taking her own life," he said. "She just ran out of emotional gas."

Doubt that was the motive. It seems she felt hopeless with regard to her position and her surroundings.
Not her going back to work in the middle of her fighting the disease herself
um :uhh:
she probably killed herself because she know she contributed to people getting the mess from her and probably dying
guilt
alslskskksksksksskslss
The mess isn't even as bad as it was and seems to be getting better
weak self
Smh that's a selfish act I'm sorry!! But you have a family at home an you end up killing yourself. I just hope her children are okay
how come when someone commits suicide, religion suddenly goes out the door
why no mention of her going to HELL

That is a disgusting comment
Do you know some people have to stay asleep for 4 weeks to recover?
People lose family/friends and can't even have a decent funeral
Patients can't have family/friends over, cant say goodbye and die alone
People get hire fevers and get hallucinations that can really cause emotional damage
People who had the virus still need to recover because their muscles became very weak, some have to learn to walk again
Patients have a great risk of ptsd and burnout
Doctors who help patients often have to live separated from their family, encountered more patients/deaths than 9/11, have to wear protective gear that is really painful for the face
The list continues
This is not a joke

I bet her body and mind was exhausted
There is a big chance there has to be special help clinics for ex corona patients with emotional and physical damage. A lot of them also can experience PTSD. I'm sure after high fevers with hallucinations there is also a bigger chance for patients to end up with psychosis and depression.

Well if she could have thought about it rationally she probably would chose life..but obviously she was depressed or traumatized. She didn't have the power and when you read what she went through it is obvious why she gave up hope. Selfish sounds like she made a conscious decision, I really doubt that is how it works

She was already in hell :disgusted:
So what could be worst?
The concept of hell is just a way for religions to keep people in check anyways
It helped slavery a lot...so might have to rethink if hell is even real or just a mindgame

Which makes if even more selfish and weak that she took her own life while so many people are fighting to live.
So sad
I can't even imagine what she went through seeing patient after patient AND catching the mess
I also read about covid reportedly causing neurological issues in some people

That's not how it works
Killing yourself is the least selfish thing you could do I mean when your life is over it is over. It is not like she is sitting in heaven chilling eating popcorn watching Netflix.
Yes it is of course weak but corona is a destroyer. So anyone who gets it and people who have to deal with patients will be affected. If you look at the context I think anyone would feel overwhelmed.

Suicide is never the answer
It is horrible
But to say she was selfish, to talk bad about her is harsh. She tried to save lives, she is a hero tbh.
And it is easy to quote without the full context. Because if you quote like that it's like I'm saying suicide is a sacrifice. I'm saying she was ill and suicide in her mind was the only option. It is sad for her and her family. It should have never happened. She should've been home recovering. Instead she felt pressured to work.
Who said she wasn't fighting for her life? :disgusted:

Where do you live, would you like to come to work in my ICU with me? I can certainly show you what is bad and what is not bad?
Some things are just not funny.
May her soul find peace. This is such a WAR and it is relentless and you can feel helpless when you are unable to save your patients especially when they are young and they die by themselves in isolation. It weighs on you.
The fact that so many of me and my colleagues are risking our own lives on the daily for idiots like yourself and those that are still having sex parties in Atlanta definitely contributes to the mental strain; because you feel like things will never get better.

because deep down these "Christians" know these rules and scriptures they follow are ridiculous and only use them when it's convenient.
like when trying to protest against homos etc
if her family is religious and REALLY followed the Bible they would announce to everyone at the funeral that she was a nice woman even though she's currently burning in hell
that will NEVER happen though :disgusted:

I have so much respect!
Doctors are trying so hard to save lives..and also have to deal with the risk of getting corona yourself..that must be so difficult
Yeah, my friend that is a nurse said he put in a transfer.He's over it. He's said he's leaving bedside.
not a casualty of war
she OFFED herself :uhh:
I would imagine she had some type of survivors guilt. She is a true fuckin hero. Rest peacefully Queen
Yeah she's weak
How did she do it btw?
That could change my opinion a bit
