This is entirely the husbands fault that he did not secure the firearm safely in the home and it is sickening he has dispersed even the suggestion of guilt and responsibility onto the clinicians that tried to help her.
It is extraordinary that no practitioner performed an evaluation of suicide risk and updated it on every meeting. Failure to remove access to the gun or make strenuous efforts for its removal is a major problem complicated further if this occurred in a state w a red flag law.
Totally agree. Like 99.9% of med mal cases, the medical chart isn't publicly disclosed so we're operating without full info, but it seems that the risk assessment was severely lacking.
How does the onus fall on the naturopathic doctor when she saw a litany of mental health professionals prior to the ND who equally failed their standards of care? For all we know, she went to the ND for a completely unrelated reason to her depression.

What’s even worse was that the firearm was still in the home after all of this.
Basic failure of both firearm safety and care of patients with severe depression.
Not sure why the husband did not just buy a safe, thats what most sane people do.....
Or maybe just get rid of the gun altogether
