Though I have not treated her for several years, I have reached out to him recently after hearing about the suicide of her boyfriend and father of her children were younger. She was devastated. Though he feared stigma and ridicule he agreed with me that he must make health and safety a priority. Unfortunately it seems that Mindy did not defend her treatment. "
