Abstract

As early as 1968 Mechanic stated that “the average doctor responds to his growing practice and increasing demands on his time … by practising at a different pace and style. Such a pattern of work requires doctors to practise on an assembly line basis, which diminishes the unique satisfaction possible in general practice.”1 Since that time there has been a growing amount of published work on job dissatisfaction and stress among general practitioners.2
