A noble Roman ending. Lot’s of physicians have suicide end point, throughout the history of the profession. The percentage is even more with dentists.
Drug abuse, suicide, mental illness— all higher %age in physicians, dentists.
Not so much with undertakers or pathologists. Their patients never complain, and they always get paid.
Physicians are really, if they are any good- practitioners of medical ART, informed by science.
interesting you should say dentists. in, i believe, the 1800’s, the term was coined, “mad as a hatter”. this was because in those days mercury was used in the making of hats, and the hat makers, breathing in mercury vapors for years on end, went mad.
it was also proposed that this same mercury vapor is what causes so many dentists to take their lives.
I guess I've hard on the medical profession. So far I've had one of my dentists and one of my doctors commit suicide.
