Episode 37: Dr. Death
from The Tactical Debrief with Dr. Massimino Hosted by The Staff Assistant
In this episode, we interview “Brian,” a police officer from Pennsylvania. Straight out of the academy, he responded to an usual number of fatal accidents and suicides, earning him the nickname “Dr. Death.” He discusses the impact of these critical incidents, ultimately leading to debilitating anxiety and his own suicidal thoughts. After Brian’s brother passed away in November 2021 from Lou Gherig’s Disease (also known as "ALS"), he found himself unable to meaningfully respond to calls for service. He made the decision to seek therapy in July of 2022, and shares what his experience has been like thus far.
