Pity the poor doctor. Making medical mistakes causes stress, sleep problems and loss of confidence. We need to help them cope.

Survey finds many docs stress mistakes

CHICAGO (AP) -- Patients aren't the only ones harmed by medical errors, according to a survey released Wednesday that found many doctors who make mistakes - and even those who come close - suffer stress, sleep problems and loss of confidence.

Job stress related to medical errors potentially could make some doctors prone to depression, quitting or even making additional mistakes, underscoring the need for helping them cope, said Washington University psychologist Amy Waterman, the study's lead author.

Try this, docs, as a coping mechanism. Stop making mistakes.

Special note to Amy - maybe some of these malpractitioners need to quit so they and their patients can sleep better.
