An emergency physician CTB
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.
This pressure on the network is enormous, confirms the president of the Association des omnipraticiens d'Yamaska, Dr.r Jacques Bergeron.
Following a first stoppage of work, Karine Dion resumed service in the emergency department of the Granby hospital last fall.
She gave everything for her patients to the detriment of her own health before falling in battle a second time.
Psychological exhaustion, a feeling of guilt for not being at the front with her colleagues and fear of being judged would be all factors that would have led her to commit the irreparable.
The Dr Bergeron observes an increase in the mental load and, by the same token, distress among front-line staff.
