Suicide among U.S. women physicians, 1967-1972.

The authors examined AMA records of the deaths of 751 women physicians during 1967-1972. Forty-nine (6.56%) committed suicide. The suicide rate for women physicians (40.7 per 100,000 per year) was higher than for men physicians and about four times that for white American women of the same age. From the known morbid risk for suicide among women with primary affective disorder, the authors calculated that about 65% of American women physicians have primary affective disorder.

The medical record review and resident education.

The purpose of this paper is to consider the medical record review in resident education. With data obtained from mother-infant pairs during the puerperium as an example, three possibilities for using this method are discussed: (a) as a means by which faculty and trainees, working together, could specify objectives relating to patient care and trainee competence; (b) as a tool in assessing both the clinical progress of trainees over time and the effectiveness of a teaching program; and (c) as a way of helping both faculty and trainees become more than expert "doers," that is knowledgeable physicians critically assessing the effects of medical science applied to the care of their patients.

About the problem patient.

This paper presents a brief description of the phenomenon of the problem patient, the response of the physician, and alternatives to the impass which frequently occurs in the problem patient-physician relationship. There may be great utility in viewing the problem-patient problem as a patient-physician relationship problem. If this is done, the physician may be able to re-examine his/her expectations of the helping role and choose an alternate mode of relating to the patient, to the benefit of both the patient and physician.
