'Make sure she's praised as a hero, because she was. She's a casualty just as much as anyone else who has died.' Dr. Lorna M. Breen died by suicide. She had been treating COVID-19 patients at the epicenter of the disease in New York City.
, her father, Dr Philip C. Breen, of Charlottesville, Virginia, said his daughter did not have a history of mental illness but had described wrenching scenes, including that patients"were dying before they could even be taken out of ambulances."
"The hospital sent her home again, before her family intervened to bring her to Charlottesville," the elder Breen told the newspaper. "Words cannot convey the sense of loss we feel today," the statement said."Dr Breen is a hero who brought the highest ideals of medicine to the challenging front lines of the emergency department. Our focus today is to provide support to her family, friends, and colleagues as they cope with this news during what is already an extraordinarily difficult time."
