DOCTOR FATALLY SHOT AND GUNMAN KILLS HIMSELF.

Dr. Michael J. Davidson, director of Endovascular Cardiac Surgery was shot and fatally wounded by a man inside a leading Boston hospital Tuesday before killing himself.

Authorities said Stephen Pasceri, 55, entered Brigham and Women's Hospital sometime before 11 a.m. and specifically requested the doctor.

Pasceri, of Millbury, shot the doctor twice just outside an examination room on the second floor of the Carl J. and Ruth Shapiro Cardiovascular Center; he then turned the gun on himself, police said.

Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said officers conducting a room-by-room search found the gunman dead in an exam room with the weapon.

Hospital officials late Tuesday identified the physician as Dr. Michael J. Davidson, director of Endovascular Cardiac Surgery.

"Dr. Davidson was a wonderful and inspiring cardiac surgeon who devoted his career to saving lives and improving the quality of life of every patient he cared for," said a statement issued by the hospital, which is affiliated with Harvard Medical School. "It is truly devastating that his own life was taken in this horrible manner."

"We're in the process of talking to witnesses, but it's leading us to believe there was something in the past that upset this guy, that made him go in and look for this particular doctor," Evans said earlier in the day.

Police and hospital officials commended the fast response by police and hospital staff, who they said had been trained to respond to an "active shooter" situation.

Evans said police were on the scene within seconds after getting the first calls of shots fired and had the area secured within 15 minutes.

Betsy Nabel, the hospital's president, said Brigham and Women's will evaluate its safety protocols. She said there have been no discussions about installing metal detectors, which none of the city's hospitals have.

Tuesday's shooting prompted a temporary lockdown at the Shapiro center. Hospital staff were asked to remain in place and the building did not accept new patients.

MAYBE TOO MUCH PRIDE

I messed up my interview some weeks because of over confidence, i could have asked former applicants what to expect but i didn't felt i could do it on my own, going in front of the panel of interviewers and not knowing the answers to the questions baffled my mind and i remember applicants reading about currents affairs while i was reading just medicine, i could have asked them but was just too arrogant and proud, even my dress code was wrong.

 I was so distraught after the interview that ended badly and i kept praying for mercy, i still believe their is nothing impossible for God to do but after going for fellowship yesterday and praying i have realised that God is teaching me a lesson about pride and i have wholeheartedly accepted the lesson  and whatever the result of the interview may be i am at peace with it. i am just going to move on and be more humble about my job search.

I am going to have to leave my present work place and get a better place, Jesus is very faithful and i will continual put my trust in him.

what to do?

I want to leave my job, don't know how to do it, its suffocating me and i think am going to explode soon. the working conditions are terrible and the nurses are so disrespectful esp the senior ones anyway but the management don't see the need to do anything about it.

Well don't care anymore myself, don't care what the do to the work, will just like to get out of here and get something better. i know God will do it we had a conversation this evening. Don't really like when ppl are two faced which is what my management is doing, always supposedly diplomatic never hitting the nail on the head.

well need to go
