Yesterday, a tragedy occurred at one of Massachusetts General’s buildings. A patient attacked a psychiatrist named Astrid Desrosiers with a knife, reportedly inside the Massachusetts General Hospital Bipolar Clinic & Research Program. An off-duty security guard shot and killed her assailant, identified as Jay Carciero, after he refused to surrender and put down his knife. Desrosiers is reportedly is serious, but stable condition. I wish her a continued and speedy recovery.

I’m sure we’ll learn more about this tragedy in the near future.
