DOCTORS' MORTALITY
According to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New York, physicians have no advantage in longevity other other men, as one might expect because of their profession. On the contrary, they do not live as long as the ordinary policy-holders. At the age of 30, the doctor's expectation of life is two years less than that of the general population. It is , deduced that the personal advantage of the doctor, who is supposed to know better than anyone else how to take care of himself, is overbalanced by the exacting duties and irregular hours to which he must submit.
