    out of 12,000 doctors surveyed in 2008, Jauhar notes, just 6% reported positive morale in their colleagues

     

    Quoted from a brief review of Sandheep Jauhar’s ‘Doctored: the disillusionment of an American physician’ in Nature. If that doesn’t depress you enough, or you think it is a US phenomenon only, take  a look at Henry Marsh’s ‘Do no Harm‘, the best book I have read about the collapse of physician professionalism in the NHS.
