Physician's Death Anxiety and Patient Outcomes.
Schulz, Richard; Aderman, David
Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, v9 n4 p327-32 1978-79
It was shown that terminal patients of physicians with high death anxiety survive longer during their final hospital stay than terminal patients of physicians with low death anxiety. Physicians high in death anxiety seem to be less willing to accept patients' terminality and use heroic measures to keep them alive. (Author)
