I don't have a very articulate or arresting way of saying this, but I'm so sad about this #MercyHospital shooting
(This isn't about me covering it as a journalist, that's actually my job)
I feel for the doctor who was killed. Not long ago I was in a similar position, telling someone I no longer wanted to see them and having my life threatened in response. Threats to confront me at work, etc
It's hard to talk to people about this (I'm not even sure why I just tweeted it) but the fear is vvv real and actually extremely alienating. Suddenly I was a paranoid person, sleeping badly, stressed out.
And as much as that sucked, I'm alive. I couldn't imagine this ending with me dying. I'm sorry this happened to Dr. O'Neal, who by all accounts was a wonderful person. Her boss told me that if he were to collapse and need help, SHE was the doctor he'd want taking care of him </3
Anyway. @alexiaer wrote a great story today about the women who are killed by their partners at work. Please read it: chicagotribune.com/business/ct-bi…
