"Doctoring" Doctors and Their Families
Stuart A. Schneck, MD
JAMA. 1998;280:2039-2042.
Being selected to provide medical care to other physicians or their family members represents not only a gratifying professional recognition of competence by one's peers but also a challenge. Many personal and psychological factors may influence the medical care of physicians. Ill physicians may have difficulty with role reversal and "the VIP syndrome," while treating physicians may have to deal with their own anxiety and issues such as confidentiality, privacy, empathy, and intrusion by a physician-relative into the care of medical family members. Based on experience with more than 200 physician-patients and many adult family members of physicians, suggestions are offered for care of these patient groups.
Dr Schneck is Professor Emeritus of Neurology, Department of Neurology, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver.
