Today we honor Dr. William West, who died by suicide. 
His family writes, “We hope systemic changes can be made to support aspiring medical professionals better. This is critical. We don’t want any other families to experience tragedies like this.”

TW: suicide There is an empty corner desk in a resident workroom at GW. Now forever engraved in my mind, that desk is a harrowing reminder of the cost of medical training. In his final words, Dr. William West said that he was simply out of gas, that he had nothing left to give.

I’m going to be an ENT! If you told me four years ago I’d become a surgeon, I wouldn’t have believed you. But if you told me when I was four, I wouldn’t have been surprised! So honored & humbled to join this specialty that has been a part of my life for so long. #otomatch

If you're considering lip fillers, it’s key to understand the potential risks and have realistic expectations about the results, medical professionals say. nyti.ms/3w2ozoQ
