nteresting story. Doctors have a much higher fear of death than the "average person". Maybe we know too much. Or too little.

Where'd you get that "fact"? Maybe you know to much or to little. ??????

Maybe we go into medicine to figure out what death means. Kind of like how the kookiest docs go into psychiatry. I've never met a psychiatrist who didn't have mental illness of some kind.

Well that covers most of the clichés. most doctors in my group got into medicine because they wanted to help sick people, enjoy an interesting life filled with intellectual stimulation that pays well, status, family pressure but "fear" or death quest isn't even on the radar. I found the craziest doctors are in pain management, industrial medicine, workers comp doctors and those working on federal institutions (prison, Indian reservation, substance abuse clinics).

Thanks for the correction. I did a literature search and came up empty. I must have been thinking of an article in the lay press.
