Not For Sale
This was a cool find at Grand Central Station. I was riding my electric bike across town from Manhattan's West side to work at NYP/Weill Cornell on the East side. When transferred to NYP/Allen, Dr. Lorna Breen saw my slim coffee thermos and had to have one too and was so excited to share the one she found. Years later, while working here in NC during the pandemic, I learned of her passing by suicide. She fought to save as many as she could against Covid, caught it herself, sought inpatient psychiatric help and then, once released, died at her father's home, also a physician by suicide due to the shame and stigma of seeking professional help. I share my story of mental wellness in honor of Dr. Breen and Dr. Lorich, Orthopedist that performed surgery on my elbow from an unfortunate electric bike accident just before my 40th b'day. He too died by suicide.
