My Lie by Omission

These walls have been injurious to me along with many others. As physicians, we learn and practice in a field with a startlingly high rate of suicide. Mental health stigma and the culture of self-sufficiency within medicine contribute to the continued suffering of physicians and trainees. Colleagues will continue to endure this injustice if this is not addressed on multiple fronts, from systemic changes to personal shifts in mentality and behavior.
