If You're a Doctor, You're Screwed



Today I'm going to do something I've never done before... I am going to post something that actually has statistical backing.


A study presented at the American Pain Society meeting has found that one in 20 patients have had the urge to kill their doctor. The survey questioned 800 Americans who were in pain, undergoing physical rehabilitation or seeking legal compensation for disability to find out their attitude towards their GP (general practitioner). Even in the control group who were not being treated for any pain, 2 percent said they had previously had the urge to kill their doctor.
UMMMMM is anyone else concerned about this? Let's break it down.


5% of patients cited in an actual scientific survey that they wanted to KILL aka MURDER their doctors. Disturbing much?


Even peeps in the control group wanted to kill their doctor.


I feel sad about humanity. But more importantly, I'm happy I was blessed with bad math genes, and hence too stupid to become a doctor.
