Fwd: Med student found dead, ACGME petition, 19 docs share best advice . . .

[Gabriela Pauli]

Hi everyone, 

I just wanted to share this sad news in hopes that if anyone is feeling down, lost, not-supported, or simply empty, know you’re not alone—  Depression, burnout, and suicide among physicians are very real occurrences. 

If you want to talk about anything or just laugh for a while, hit me up! I’d love to hear from you. You can talk about your problems with me all you want :) 

A big hug, 

Gabi
