Wounded Healers
"We have turned doctors into gods and worship their deity by offering up our bodies and our souls-not to mention our worldly goods.
And yet paradoxically, they are the most vulnerable of human beings. Their suicide rate is eight times the national average. Their Percentage of Drug addiction is one hundred times higher
And because they are painfully aware that they cannot live up to our expectations, their anguish is unquantifiable intense. They have aptly been called Wounded Healers."

I came across this beautiful piece of writing by Erich Segal in his novel 'Doctors'. And i completely agree upon the fact that doctors are subjected to far greater no. of problems than a normal human. The problems start from the first day of his student life and ends with his/her life.
Now-a-days, the cases of anxiety,depression and gastric ulcers(also develops due to anxiety) are particularly high in Medical students. They are subjected to rigorous testing before they can CALL themselves As Doctors.
