Doctor suicides in physician “health” programs →
I know 25 docs who died by suicide in physician “health” programs. If you’re suicidal, don’t tell your boss (PD, or med board). You’ll be sent to a PHP 4-day evaluation & 90-day out-of-state “preferred” center with polygraphs and 5-years of AA & drug tests (even if you don’t do drugs) costing you 250K. Don’t comply (or can’t afford)? Board yanks your license & publishes your suicidal thoughts online. That will make you suicidal.
FREE Zoom session this Sunday for help. For your confidential link contact Dr. Wible here.

How we honor our dead (who gets celebrated, who gets ignored) →
(Video transcript below)
When a beautiful young doctor stepped off the rooftop of her Mount Sinai Hospital building—they covered her with a tarp.
Here’s the grassroots memorial that took over my training hospital after Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford’s assassination attempt.
Here’s a living memorial for a Swedish teen who took her life in the ocean in 2013.
For more than a decade I’ve been passing by this ghost bike for Oregon cyclist David Minor in downtown Eugene.
Here’s an Oregon roadside memorial to fallen policeman Kelly Fredinburg.
And a memorial for actor Robin Williams who died by suicide.
When Washington State University quarterback Tyler Hilinski died by suicide, within hours he had a memorial.
Yet when Dr. Deelshad Joomun, who devoted her life to caring for others, stepped off her hospital—all she got was a tarp and silence—until I intervened.
Is this how we should treat people—physicians—who devote their lives to us?

Doctor Suicide Investigation @ Mount Sinai →
“Hi Pamela, we just had another doctor jump and commit suicide at Mount Sinai and they are just covering it up. This keeps happening . . .”
If we had this number of patients jumping from hospital rooftops, there would be an investigation. Why are we not taking this seriously when these are doctors and medical students?”
Mount Sinai Hospital doctor suicides Esha Baichoo, M.D., and Deelshad Joomun, M.D. were both IMGs (International Medical Graduates) from the small nation of Mauritius on visa (meaning beholden to employer to remain in US so easy to control/manipulate). Both died by suicide by stepping off the same building at Mount Sinai.
Neither Mount Sinai or NYPD has launched a root-cause analysis investigation into their suicides so I am gathering a team for a forma investigation into their deaths.
Do you know something about Drs. Baichoo or Joomun?
Please contact me here (you may remain anonymous though we’d love to interview you).

Thank you for caring. 💕🙏 Do not let them be forgotten.

Doctor suicide on her third day in her “dream” job—remembering Deelshad Joomun, M.D. →
Video from an altar in my home shrine to suicided doctors.
My sweet soul sister, Deelshad Joomun, M.D., died by suicide 6 years ago today when she stepped off the roof of a Mount Sinai Hospital building in NYC at 3:30 pm on her third day in her “dream” job as an attending. A pioneer in the field of interventional nephrology, she is remembered for her sweet voice, her intelligence, and the devotion to all who came to her in need. She was the third female doctor/medical trainee to die by suicide at Mount Sinai in just a few years. Two of the suicides were on visa from Mauritius (Deelshad Joomun, M.D. & Esha Baichoo, M.D.). To date there has been no thorough investigation into the reasons why three young female physicians chose to die by suicide at Mount Sinai.
