Survey: Fifteen Percent of Surgeons May Suffer From Alcohol Abuse or Dependence

HealthDay reports, “Alcohol use disorders are a significant issue among US surgeons,” according to the results of a new survey published in Archives of Surgery. Investigators reported that “the online, anonymous poll indicated that 15 percent of surgeons appear to suffer from alcohol abuse or dependence: nearly 14 percent of male surgeons and 26 percent of female surgeons.” These “figures exceed the 8 percent to 12 percent figure typically cited for alcohol abuse rates among the public at large, according to background information in the study.”

From the American Association for Justice press release.

About This Blog

The title of this blog reflects my attitude toward those government agencies and insurance companies that routinely mistreat injured or disabled people. As a Dallas, Texas lawyer, I've spent more than 45 years trying to help those poor folk, and I have been frustrated daily by the actions of the people on the other side of their claims. (Sorry if I offended you...)
