Doctors frequently claim that the tabloid press focuses too much on malpractice cases and that the identity of the individual physicians is also revealed. A systematic review of two Norwegian tabloids over six months in 1994 showed that articles on malpractice occurred less often than expected. We found 1.6 articles each week, on average. In addition, the doctors were identified in only three of 42 articles. The situation leading to the complaint was commented by the doctor involved in one article, while criticism from a colleague who was not directly involved was included in two of 42 articles. The results indicate that doctors need to be trained to handle the press.
医生们经常声称，小报媒体过于关注医疗事故案件，而且个别医生的身份也会被曝光。1994年对两份挪威小报进行的为期六个月的系统审查显示，关于医疗事故的文章出现的频率低于预期。我们平均每周发现1.6篇此类文章。此外，在42篇文章中，只有3篇提到了医生的身份。在其中一篇文章中，涉及投诉的医生对导致投诉的情况进行了评论，而在42篇文章中的两篇中，包含了一位未直接参与的同事的批评。结果表明，医生需要接受应对媒体的培训。
