Trigger Warning: This episode discusses themes of suicide and mental health crises.

In this week’s episode, join Tina, Jessica, and Erica as we delve into a poignant story that has touched the hearts of many in the healthcare community. We're talking about Tristin Kate Smith, a dedicated emergency room nurse who was just 28 years old when her life tragically ended in August. But it was what Tristin left behind that has sparked a national conversation—a letter penned five months earlier, where she boldly likened the healthcare industry to an abusive partner.
