The news of the death of Dr. Ban Ziad Tariq, a specialist in psychological and mental illnesses, shook the medical community in Basra Governorate, amid a wave of grief and sadness expressed by her colleagues. The Basra Medical Syndicate mourned her with moving words, and described her passing as a “huge loss,” given her “high professional and humanitarian competence in her field of expertise.” Dr. Wissam Muhammad Ali Al-Rudaini, head of the union’s branch in Basra, said in a condolence statement followed by Al-Raya: “We extend our deepest condolences and sympathy to our fellow doctors, and to the family of the deceased and her lovers, hoping that God will cover her with His vast mercy, dwell her in His spacious gardens, and inspire her family with patience and solace.” Al-Rudaini considered the doctor’s departure a painful loss for the medical community, given her professional and humanitarian competence in her field of specialization. Although the death was announced through a condolence statement from the Medical Syndicate, the details related to the cause of death remained ambiguous, which opened the door wide to speculation. Activists and pages on social media circulated documents showing that she was subjected to physical torture and very severe bruises and wounds in various areas of her body, stressing that her death was not an ordinary event, but rather a full-fledged murder and liquidation. While the union avoided delving into the circumstances of her death, some of her colleagues posted on their personal Facebook accounts an obituary that included references to her recent suffering from severe psychological pressure. Followers see this incident as an opportunity to break the “medical silence,” as one of them commented: “It is not normal for a psychiatrist to be asked to listen to dozens of tragic stories every day, while he is not provided with similar psychological support. You may be a victim of this silence.” Many agree that the psychiatrist in Iraq suffers from a combination of pressure: between precise professional demands and a social outlook that often questions or ridicules the role of psychiatry, not to mention the absence of institutional care that ensures a balance between work and the mental health of the therapist. Dr. Pan's departure shocked her colleagues and patients, and left a huge void in a psychiatric institution that was known for its care for people with depression and anxiety disorders. The death of Dr. Ban Ziad Tariq is not just a passing event. It is an alarm bell ringing at all of our doors. When the saviors themselves begin to fall, everyone must ask: Who saves the saviors?
