Job burnout, medical errors, and possibly the fear of making an error can lead surgeons to contemplate suicide at higher rates than the general public, the study suggests.
- 8,000 surgeons participated in the study.
- Close to 6% reported recent suicidal thoughts -- only about 3% of the general population has suicidal thoughts.
Overall, surgeons in the study worked 60 hours per week on average. 40% felt burned out, and 30% had symptoms of depression.
Most said their work left little time for personal and family life, yet few who worked less than 40 hours a week had suicidal thoughts.
