A postal survey of 1,500 doctors who had qualified between 1935 and 1959 and were in active practice in Great Britian elicited 988 replies (a 66 per cent response rate). Nine hundred and thirty-two of the replies were suitable for analysis. There were few differences between hospital doctors and general practitioners in reported medical histories: respiratory tuberculosis had occurred more often among hospital doctors; other respiratory diseases were slightly more common among general practitioners, as were diseases of the digestive tract.The view held by some members of the profession that doctors receive poor medical care was not confirmed. There is, however, cause for disquiet at the possible consequences of self-treatment and the financial implications of illness.
对1935年至1959年间取得资格并在英国积极行医的1500名医生进行的邮政调查收到了988份回复（回复率为66%）。其中932份回复适合进行分析。医院医生和全科医生在报告的病史方面几乎没有差异：呼吸道结核病在医院医生中更为常见；其他呼吸道疾病在全科医生中略为常见，消化道疾病也是如此。该行业一些成员认为医生接受的医疗护理不佳的观点未得到证实。然而，对于自我治疗可能产生的后果以及疾病的经济影响，仍有理由感到不安。
