Physicians make recommendations to their patients on a daily basis regarding tests and procedures. However, no research has evaluated physicians use of similar tests for their own health and well-being. This article reviews a comparison between 55 male physicians and 55 male attorneys of similar age regarding their use of the annual physical examination and routine screening tests. In several areas, the results indicate that physicians do not participate in routine tests and procedures as well as do their legal counterparts. Possible explanations for this physician behavior are included in the discussion segment of the article.
医生每天都会就检查和治疗程序向患者提出建议。然而，尚无研究评估医生针对自身健康状况进行类似检查的情况。本文回顾了55名年龄相仿的男性医生和55名男性律师在进行年度体检和常规筛查测试方面的比较。在几个方面，结果表明医生在进行常规检查和治疗程序方面不如从事法律工作的同行。本文的讨论部分包含了对医生这种行为的可能解释。
