[When a doctor must treat a collegue].
The literature about the physician emotional life underlined how to care a collegue generates stress. However this situation is not so much investigated. The aim of this article is to investigate the nature of the relation and of the physician inner life when the doctor meets a patient-doctor, by means of narratives and a qualitative analysis. Having a colleague as patient seems to be very challenging and to evocke struggling feelings difficult to handle with well known stategies.
