Yet, another tough morning for all those who witnessed, lost someone or experienced the #MercyHospitalShooting.
@JohnPurakal completed his residency with Dr. Tamara O'Neal. He and other doctors tried to save her life, but unfortunately her injuries were too severe.
I knew her, trained with her, saved lives with her and tonight, tried to save her life. Tonight, I broke down in front of my coworkers when we lost her, and tonight I held hands with her mother in prayer. Tonight, we lost a beautiful, resilient, passionate doc. Keep singing, TO.
When women are killed, it is usually by someone they know, eg a current or former partner
We can predict risk for dying at the hands of a partner with chilling accuracy. It’s called a “lethality index”
The diagnostic test for partner violence is asking. We don’t ask.
