    I know the doctors very well. He was a very bright student in his college and was a fine gentleman- but his thoughts were above the rest of the people.Even he had his own worries like me & you. This who incident shows that even psychiatrists are just like normal people in handling stress. Hopes his family comes to terms with life soon.

    It is shocking to hear that a Psychiatrist resorted to such a heinous act like Suicide, who is well trained to counsel ordinary people from this evil. It raises doubts about our education system itself. Are we becoming only literates and not educated? what ever the consequences, a Doctor like him should not have resorted to end his life by committing suicide. The matter to be investigated without loss of time and we can only pray the almighty to rest his soul in peace. Our sincere condolences to the bereaved family members.
