Yes there are huge amounts of stress and responsibility. You need to have a long talk with yourself, and see if you can cope - if not there are other health professions with less stress that you could consider. You've clearly got a responsible attitude to ask this question.
And don't forget, dentists have to "look down in the mouth"....
same as hairdressers "curl up & dye"................
too many patients too much responsibilty so they turn to drink then some unfortunatley comit suicide cos they cannot cope
Pressure of work, they have to deal with patients who aren't at there best.
Because of the pressure upon them. If they make a mistake or give the wrong diagnosis' then they will fell bad and all stressed out
They have easy access to prescription drugs.
Don't know fella. Maybe it's because they have access to drugs.
one type of person, those damn hypercondriacts
Especially for doctors they probably so much patients with pain and they also see so much death that it probably depresses them thus having them to suicide themselves
No - their patients when they get the bill!
They are so keen to get the cash they work their butts off, stress themselves silly and develope depression type mental illnesses.
ios it true.are they have so weaker minds
I did not know.
Doctor is stress due to do always being ill. They get a cold, it goes then they get a cough, that goes, then something else. Patients pass on these illnesses and really, if they just had a cough or cold they shouldn't need a doctor to tell them whats wrong.
Dentists... I haven't a clue!
I am getting tired, sorry about that not so funny joke.
loads of pressure. also, who really enjoys going to the dentist? not the most popular thing to be is it, but its a good thing we have them so if thats what you want to be then go for it.
Access to drugs and they know how to do it right.
too much stress
All they ever see professionally are people with problems, perhaps it gets them down. Next time you go to the docs/dentist say "I feel fine, just thought I come to see if you are O.K. and take you out for a beer"
Of course they should get a lift if their treatment cures their patients.
...............SORRY, I JUST DON'T KNOW................................
I've had two dentists and one doctor commit suicide. None used drugs to kill themselves. They all used guns.
They are not the highest, but they are above average. It is due to the constant stress of the job and the draining emotional effects.
They feel guilty for over charging.
