Depressed Dentist jumps off 13-story building over his poor eyesight

Quote:

March 15, 2005 -- A respected Manhattan dentist who was depressed over his failing eyesight climbed to the roof of his apartment building and plunged to his death as neighbors watched in horror, authorities said yesterday.
Howard Brodsky, 43, was a wreck over the past few weeks because he feared he would lose his livelihood and be forced to go on disability after a recent eye operation and partial loss of his vision.

Brodsky ? who had plenty of money, loving parents, a girlfriend and an enviable life, according to friends ? climbed from his 10th-floor apartment at 412 E. 55th St. to the top of the 13-story building just after 3 p.m. Sunday.

"He was walking around on the roof in jogging pants, sneakers and a shirt, looking around," said Rodger Rowe, 58, who watched the entire tragedy unfold through the window of his apartment on the 16th floor of the building next door.

"I thought he'd just been exercising and had come out to catch some air. He looked perfectly happy.

"But then he made a very quick move and got up on the wall. He held on with his hands for about a second, then he let go.''

A witness said a couple who appeared to be Brodsky's mother and father arrived shortly after the tragedy and confronted a blond girl who seemed to be his girlfriend.

"He had called his mother and said he wanted to go to hospital," said the woman, who works in the apartment building next door to Brodsky's and declined to be named.

"So his mother was screaming to his girlfriend, 'Why didn't you take him to hospital? Why didn't you take him to hospital?' " Staff at Brodsky's dental practice on East 57th Street near Lexington Avenue declined to be interviewed.

its very sad what a shame

Dentists have a high suicide rate.

Dentists have the highest rate of suicide of all people, by a suprisingly large margin.

If he had 20/20 hindsight this probably wouldn't have happened

Yeah, why couldn't it have been like his teeth falling out or something instead of losing his eye sight. Then he could have fitted himself with dentures and kept on with his dental practice.

I guess he didn't have any optometrist friends.

jebus, what a way to go

It would be kinda rough to have a good paying job requiring good vision, and then to start losing it. You are 43, have been making 6 figures for the past 15 years, and your optometrist tells you have 1-2 years before you can't practice dentistry any more.
I wouldn't be too thrilled with my situation either.

I feel not an ounce of sorrow for this man.

he killed himself over his failing eyesight...i'm speechless

you should kill yourself if you find out you have AIDS or you just killed someone, not over your eyesight.

I sometimes forget that there are people who only look at porn. I create it, but generally I get off on real sex with a partner.

BTW, lots of blind people have sex and what not. I've never had sex with a blind girl, but did it with a deaf girl once. Nice experience. She said she could read my lips when I was talking dirty to her.
