Lorna Breen, head of the emergency department at a New York City hospital, committed suicide.

According to New York Post, Dr. Brin received psychological trauma in treating patients with a new coronavirus infection and was unable to cope with psychological pressure.

Infected with COVID-19, Dr. Breen moved to her parents' house in Charlottesville, Virginia. After a two-week treatment, she felt better and wanted to return to work in New York, but her colleagues sent her home again. Unable to cope with the psychological pressure associated with the pandemic, Dr. Breen committed suicide.

“She was a doctor, every bit of the word that a doctor should be,” her father Philip Breen said on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time.”

“She put her life on the line to take care of other people. She was in the trenches, so to speak, right in the front line as people were dying left and right around her.”
