Exhausted by the pandemic: an emergency physician takes her own life | France24 News English

The death of an emergency physician creates a shock wave in Granby. Karine Dion took her own life earlier this month.

Mother of a young boy, the 35-year-old had been practicing medicine for 10 years.

She has saved many lives over the years, but now the pressure of the COVID-19 pandemic on her work as an emergency physician has unfortunately pushed her to end hers.

By making these events of great sadness public, her husband, David Daigle, as well as Karine’s family wish to make the authorities aware of the distress currently being felt by many health workers.
