Thank you so much. My beautiful wife Anne was a psychiatric nurse practitioner who died by suicide two years ago. Our story resembles that of Matt and Betsy Gall. Anne refused to go to the hospital because peers and patients would be there. Perfectly understandable. I suggested we go out of state, but Anne and her psychiatrist said no. The damn health insurance companies!
Thank you Betsy. As a psychologist, I see that your words are filled with wisdom and insight learned from incredible pain. State licensing laws from Boards of Medical Practice in MN, ND, and SD have been re-written to reduce potential concerns from physicians worried about seeking care. Your courage and those of others willing to step forward, have helped achieve that.
Wow! An incredible story of great importance.
