> showed male veterinarians are twice as likely... than the general population to die by suicide

This may come as a bit cynical, but gender on its own has bigger correlation for suicide, than being veterinarian! 80% of suicide victims are males. That gives 3x higher rate over general population.

It would be nice, if all people who cry here over veterinarians, could give some sympathy to men as well!

Reminds me of a recent HN "article" where a daughter was writing in length about how her dad's suicide destroyed her life.

"Desperate man commits suicide, daughter most affected."
