This paper will address the ways in which all of us as doctors respond to the impact of illness in patients. The constructs used are psychoanalytic and the experience comes from running a psychological service for doctors for the past seven years. In line with the Nuffield Hospitals Report (1996) it is a service funded by the Regional Postgraduate Medical Dean.
