ABOUT THE PROJECT

LOGLINE
Medical students and families of physicians touched by suicide come out of the shadows to expose the truth about a sick healthcare system that not only risks patients’ lives, but drives our brilliant young doctors to take their own lives.

SYNOPSIS
Doctors are supposed to be our healers, yet they have the highest rate of suicide among any profession. DO NO HARM weaves intimate stories of suicidal doctors and surviving families of young doctors who have taken their own lives with experts who reveal the truth behind this silent epidemic. What you don’t know about medical culture can kill you. Bullying, sleep deprivation, and assembly-line medicine lead not only to medical mistakes—the third leading cause of death in the U.S.—but to the death of our doctors. The film explores this hidden culture at medical schools and hospitals that drives our doctors to desperation and death while also revealing the groundbreaking solutions that are saving the lives of our promising young doctors—and their patients.
