Many physicians and surgeons work long, irregular hours. Over one-third of full-time physicians and surgeons worked 60 hours or more a week in 2006. Only 8 percent of all physicians and surgeons worked part-time, compared with 15 percent for all occupations. Physicians and surgeons must travel frequently between office and hospital to care for their patients. While on call, a physician will deal with many patients' concerns over the phone and make emergency visits to hospitals or nursing homes.

The single most stressful life event on the life stress scale is the death of a spouse?

NO. Losing a spouse is NOT a "top stressful life event" .... it would be in the "top life traumas" I respectfully disagree. Death of a spouse IS a life event, and in fact, is #1 on everyone's scale of most stressful life events (it is #1 on life events for adults; death of a parent is #1 for non-adults). Even things that should be happy occasions (vacation, holidays) have a stress rating.
