A depressed Asian American patient recently took her own life. I had only heard about her briefly and some of the medical issues that she had been dealing with. I admire some of my physician colleagues who recognize that many patients easily fall through the cracks of a not-so-perfect health care system and who are trying to make a change for the better. I didn't know her, but as an Asian American health advocate, my heart is with her family. This is just a reminder for myself to give a monetary donation so that her poor father can fly in from Asia to be with his lost loved one.
