Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
While the phenomenon has been studied mainly among medical students, it is well known that physicians, even seasoned ones, often make derogatory remarks about certain patients - not in the patients' presence (it is to be hoped) but to each other. The targets of such medical locker-room humour are often the patients who, the doctors think, brought their illnesses upon themselves. |
