MD Radiotherapy medico commits suicide due to alleged academic, clinical pressure
Suicide
Korba: In a tragic incident, a young doctor pursuing her MD in Radiotherapy at Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru Memorial Medical College (Pt JNMMC), Raipur, allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself from the ceiling at her residence in Korba.
According to police and her peers, she had been dealing with clinical depression and was receiving counselling from institutional psychiatrists. Her peers confirmed that she had attempted suicide two months ago and was under regular supervision via calls and messages since then.
It is believed that she took the extreme step due to the extreme academic and clinical pressure associated with her Radiotherapy course. Not only this, but her long and exhausting work hours, which often stretched from morning till late at night, are also thought to have played a role in her mental distress.
