speaking of which... let's talk about the intense, absurd pressure inflicted on physicians, resident physicians and medical students, and it's consequences.
According to this article the US alone loses 400 doctors yearly to suicide. The writers note that down as the yearly output of at least "one entire medical school". (IMO that number is closer to the yearly output of TWO medical schools.) And that's without even counting morbidity and indirect mortality of other related conditions.
On top of that the article goes on to state
Depression is even more common in medical students and residents, with 15-30% of them screening positive for depressive symptoms.
Which is kind of a no-brainer, given that resident physicians tend to far more easily end up being the butt of the department (even in countries with reasonable labor laws this happens, let alone in places where such a thing is nonexistant). As such, if your average physician is around three times as likely to kill himself, it follows that his average
indentured serv resident is going to have a worse lot.
The whole thing stinks even from an economical POV. Training a physician is lenghty and expensive. To have so many people fall due to suicide and burnout goes beyond the pale, from both a human and economical point of view.
