Dr. Pauline Chen wrote an article today about the occupational risk facing physicians. Physicians have the honor and obligation to treat patients, but with that, run risk for infection and disease. But the actual risk is largely an estimate, since there is no registry to document the number of occupational deaths of health workers, unlike similar registries for fire fighters and police officers.
How do you think this information would shape perceptions of health workers? You can see some comments on the article here.
