Hi there Sogez. impatient patients!
Joking aside, my personal opinion is that it is a combination of stress, and the guilt associated with mis-diagnosis. Doctors also have one of the highest rates of alcohol and drug abuse by occupation, this is a major factor in many suicides. In the 10 years I have been a Doctor, three of my colleague's have committed suicide. Frightening! Wishing you good health. Kind regards DR.DS

1_ They care so much, and take the burdens of their patients onto themselves.
2) The pressure of NEVER making a mistake, and if you do, that your career and everything you worked for could be gone.
3) Most docs are probably Type A type people. The depression of hitting the pinnacle of their profession and then having no where else upward to go after they are about 30 must be overwhelming.

Have you ever seen someone die-especially of cancer or a stroke? Have you ever seen someone given lots and lots of morphine to ease their pain of dying to the point they are practically dead from the morphine? Have you ever seen a 60 year old man who does not remember the 30 year old son he raised single handedly? Do you go to the mall or to restaurants and see lots of elderly people who cannot walk, move, sit up? No. Doctors see the suffering. Doctors know the least painful suicide method.

Wouldn't you feel suicidal if everyone came and told you their troubles every day? If you are ill, stay at home. Only go to see your Doc when you are well, take him a gift or lots of money and be sure to talk about something pleasant! Ha, ha - joke
