  • Summary

  • The medical profession has the highest rate of suicide of any profession bar none. Today, we discuss the loss of yet another doctor to suicide. Following a lengthy battle with substance abuse during her adolescence, Dr. Sundem turned her life around, beat addiction, and became an excellent doctor and researcher. Her troubled youth came back to haunt her when it was time to apply for jobs and after 3 years of no luck, she unfortunately took her own life.
    In the coming weeks, we'll be going into more depth on mental health issues in light of the huge impact COVID-19 has had.
