interesting article

this article talks about how veterinarians are 4x as likely as the average person and twice as likely compared to other health professionals, to commit suicide.

i just thought it was an interesting factoid--I think people usually think that being a veterinarian is less stressful than being an MD, but that may not be the case. Or perhaps the profession attracks those who are more likely? in any case, I have a lot more respect for private practitioners having been on. what a task.
