NYC doctor suicides raise concerns about treatment of resident physicians at Bronx hospital

Their deaths have rocked Lincoln, part of the city’s public Health+Hospitals network, and have raised questions about the rigors — and management — of the residency program there.

Hope they fire that PD and change the culture there. I’ve heard of malignant programs at that place, but NYC H+H needs to step up and do something, as should ACGME.

I'm close to the situation. I know residents who knew these internal medicine residents. One of the residents had a secret that they didn't even want their family to know and it was it putting a lot of pressure on him. People have committed suicide for what he was going through alone. I won't disclose it because I don't want people's personal business to spread. But sometimes, things are deeper than what they appear.

You also shouldn't believe everything you hear through the grapevine, but that's neither here nor there.

So...he was a homosexual.

Good job being both coy/respectful and sharing something extremely personal you have no right to share.

Go away.
