(11/9/20) Jumping off hospital rooftops, hanging themselves in janitorial closets, overdosing on drugs—they’re A students and their suicides are often like well-planned school projects. Doctors are our healers, yet they have the highest rate of suicide among any profession. Two-time Emmy Award-winner Robyn Symon’s eye-opening new documentary Do No Harm exposes a silent epidemic and the truth about a sick healthcare system that not only drives our brilliant young doctors to take their own lives but puts patients’ lives at risk too. Join us for a hard look at this disturbing phenomenon in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
