‘We’re in a crisis’: South Bay doctors demand changes following suicide death of colleague

HEALTH CARE WORKERS are demanding county leaders address workplace issues following one death by suicide and another attempt by Santa Clara Valley Medical Center physicians.

“We’re in a crisis,” Valley Physician Group chairman Stephen Harris told San José Spotlight. The union represents nearly 500 doctors at three public hospitals in Santa Clara County. “We have suffered mismanagement for a very long time. And now we’re at the point where the system collapses, and management is pretending it’s business as usual.”
