title: Stress problems in the medical profession.
abstract: Doctors are renowned for denial of illness in themselves and often do not respond in the most helpful way to signs of distress in colleagues. As a result, doctors and their families may get second class treatment, especially for stress related problems. Why is this so? How may stress affect doctors? How can we help?
