Suicidal Surgeon: 55 Orthopaedic Surgeon Suicides & How To Prevent #56

Since my original keynote 2 years ago: 33 orthopaedic surgeon suicides: How to prevent #34, we’ve lost 22 more orthopaedic surgeon to suicide. On September 10, 2020, at the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society, I share why each of these 55 doctors died died and how we can prevent future suicides among doctors. Afterwards we had 3.5 hours of Q&A and continued conversation (confidential, not recorded). Need to talk? Contact Dr. Wible here.

      A few of those 22 may have died prior though were submitted to me in those 2 years. Yes most died within those two years. Our suicide rates are higher than anyone would like to believe. Even me.

    How many of these doctors participated in military reconstructive surgery? Like they did on Vice President mike Pence one month or two before he along with Donald Trump was elected in November 2016, right after both male VP candidates to Hililary Clinton,and Trump took over for the two females who ran most of the campayne, Sarah Palin, Leslie tipper Gore, how come both chicks replaced that late in the game? Janet cook and Fran Juvenal, Kelly Harris sherry lockman were bragging about kidnapping Palin then in Washington state, they said Diane and denice drug her to death behind Diane’s hunter green truck she sold,Janet m. Cook transported a dead Jim cook in back her white car dumped him in two rivers, story point church ken and Margret know, are they dead to who stole their gold sedan ?see all these deaths need real police and coroners we have handful plenty wannabes don’t want feds here be careful those doctors were probably killed, loose ends? Check their surgical rotations I bet all went on break, miramar Cali? Huh look into it,ya owe them Doctors. Thank you M.J.K.H.21′
