LOS ANGELES - s4story -- The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the wide spread dysfunction in our healthcare system. The lack of support for front line healthcare workers has led to high rates of suicide and burnout that has been covered up for decades - until now. From two-time Emmy-winning producer Robyn Symon, the new documentary "Do No Harm," now available on Vimeo on Demand (https://vimeo.com/ondemand/donoharmfilm), reveals that doctor suicides are just the tip of the iceberg in an epidemic of depression, drug abuse, sleep deprivation and burnout that plagues the medical community.

At a time when we're facing an unprecedented doctor shortage, more than one million patients lose their doctors to suicide every year and because of the stigma of suicide, it's often covered up. "Do No Harm" follows four people bonded by tragedy on a mission to expose medicine's dirty secret. Doctors and medical students pull back the curtain on the causes and cover-up of the alarming rate of suicide of physicians, the highest rate among all professions and almost twice the general population.
