There is a heartbreaking story in the Guardian of a few days ago about how this affects surgeons. The article is about suicides amongst young surgeons.
I know the article you mention. I saw it, too. The entire medical profession is screwed up probably beyond all hope of repair, and will stay that will until a sound philosophy of what health is can be somehow instilled (I'm not holding my breath). Health has nothing to do with drugs or profitability. When the 3rd leading cause of preventable death (in the U.S., anyway) is medical error, what can you say?
