Heard a sad story today of a former 3rd yr resident who took his own life after being let go just 3-4 months before graduation. Rumor is he was an IMG, supporting his family back home, and may have lost his Visa status as a result of the dismissal.
Unfortunate that a resident who clearly needed help was thrown to the wind by his own and resorted to such measures. (No idea why he was dismissed so late into residency, so can't speak on that.)

Thoughts are with the residents of the program.
