Physicians practicing medicine face many challenges in today's healthcare arena. The stress of practicing medicine is increasing exponentially as new medical information is exploding on a daily basis and new stresses to practicing are occurring in a burgeoning telecommunication world. The impact of rapidly increasing medical information and the era of electronic medical records allowing physicians to communicate with patients and physicians electronically, without the benefit of observing body language or clarifying misunderstandings, has had a huge impact on practicing physician-patient risk for misinterpretation of the electronically transmitted medical information. The risk of malpractice allegations is real even under the best circumstances. The potential risk to physicians alleged to be negligent has resulted in a clinical entity called medical malpractice stress syndrome; it is a "forme fruste" of posttraumatic stress disorder.
在当今的医疗领域，执业医生面临着诸多挑战。随着新的医学信息每天呈指数级增长，以及在迅速发展的电信世界中出现了新的执业压力，行医的压力也在急剧增加。快速增长的医学信息以及电子病历时代使医生能够与患者和其他医生进行电子通信，但却无法观察肢体语言或消除误解，这对执业医生误解电子传输的医学信息的医患风险产生了巨大影响。即使在最佳情况下，医疗事故指控的风险也是真实存在的。被指控存在疏忽的医生所面临的潜在风险导致了一种名为医疗事故压力综合征的临床实体；它是创伤后应激障碍的一种“顿挫型”。
