title: [Physicians' work load. A comparison between company physicians and general practitioners in private practice].
abstract: The authors describe and compare the work load of 26 general practitioners and 17 company doctors. All of them worked full time. The information was collected by means of a structured telephone interview. The results indicate a higher work load among general practitioners than among company doctors. Despite this, the general practitioners plan to remain working longer than the company doctors do. In both groups of doctors there were some who believed they risked developing the "burn-out syndrome". This problem was found among the youngest doctors, female doctors and doctors with a large number of consultations daily.
