Re: RIP, Dr. William Thomas. Orthodontist, Vienna, VA.
Do we know that it was in fact suicide? I can't find any obituary or anything that says so.
I'd be suprised it he was having financial troubles so severe that they could drive him to that. He was a successful orthodontist. When I was being treated by him, he was driving a Porsche. Something really bad would have had to have happened.
He was a nice guy, and his assistants were friendly. His practice apparently has a website: http://drwilliamthomas.com . I recognize 2 or 3 of his assistants who worked there when I was going.

Yeah, it was.
He hung himself in his home, and was found by his wife.
Poor man had issues with severe depression, and wouldn't let his wife or anyone else try to help.

I've never heard of Dr Thomas Cman. I've always went to this Asian dentist on Old Courthouse Rd, down the street from Taco Bell and Toiletbowl building.
I hope their family is getting through it.

Damn, that's weird...Dr. T is waaay closer to your house haha.
We just got a letter from his wife today, seems like they're handling it as best they can.

He made my teeth nice and straight. Anyone ever hear that dentist have the highest suicide rate? Probably a myth thought. Quite odd.

It's understood that dentists throughout the entire medical field are mostly prone to suicides. It's 2nd on the list right under psychiatrist. Still dont get why though...

Depression is a serious issue that effects a lot of people, being a "weak bitch" has nothing to do with it.

Re: RIP, Dr. William Thomas. Orthodontist, Vienna, VA.
How dare you even make a comment like that unless you knew him or his family? Talk about selfish-to assume you could comment on something that you know nothing about. There was not a weak bone in his body and was the most selfless human being you have ever met. You and your inflated opinion of your thoughts and ideas need to stay out of someone else's business.
