Thanks to Bob Wenzel's "The Lockdown Suicides" over at TargetLiberty.
Dr. Jeffrey, I. Barke, MD, is a medical
practitioner serving in Newport Beach, CA.
Dr. Mark McDonald is a Clinical Psychiatrist and Medical Legal Expert, practicing in Los Angeles, CA. The YouTube video description explains that
Mark McDonald, M.D., F.A.B.P.N., a double board-certified physician specializing in adult psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry will share his doctor-patient experiences during the Covid-19 shutdown.
DR. MCDONALD [3:07]: A recent tragedy that
happened in his practice. A 31-year-old woman he'd seen for
depression. She was on a cocktail of medications. Remote history of
opiate abuse. She was due to see him this week, but he received a call
from her step-mother, who lives in Atherton, who explained that she had
died. She was going to school at Antioch
College to get her Masters in Counseling, the school shut down
as all of the schools have from K through graduate. She had to return to
her apartment, where she lived alone, confine herself to a small space, no
family, no boyfriend. She had no 12-step meetings to go to to offer
support. And she was under stress. Unknown to me, she
declined. I didn't hear from her or the therapist. She found a
supply of Fentynal and overdosed. She was
found unresponsive by paramedics and she died. Again, she was healthy.
DR. BARKE: But Dr.
McDonald, this is a death that has nothing to do with the viral
infection. This is a death that has to do with the unnecessary economic
and medical shutdown in our country. And I know that you're just one
doctor practising, but this is being repeated over and over again. And
this is not unique to you, but it is going on throughout the country, is this
correct?
DR. MCDONALD: It's going on everywhere.
The director for Didi Hersch Suicide Prevention Hotline, who
was interviewed by the LA Times in early April, she manages the entire suicide
prevention network in Los Angeles County, a private practice, a private outfit
basically, and the calls that increased from the month of February to March
went from 20 calls to 1,800. So if that isn't a signal that a tremendous
number of patients and non-patients, just residents here in LA that are
suffering such distress that they need to call suicide prevention hotline, how
many more are out there, and how many of them are now dead or suffering in
silence waiting to see me or seeing you, or seeing any physician that they need
healthcare from . . . .
DR. BARKE: The mental health crisis across our
country as a result of the economic and medical shutdown is quite
traumatic. And as a primary care doctor, I am seeing this in my
colleagues as well, where routine visits are just not happening, both for
mental health and regular health problems. So I think it's a tragedy, and
we hope the message gets out that we need to open up our economy and most
importantly we need to open up our healthcare so patients can start getting the
care that they need to prevent tragedies like the one that you are
describing.
Thanks, Dr. Fauci, Dr. Birx, Billie
Gates,
It's true that some folks impose
self-isolation, but when governments do it you know they're not just giving you
space.
