One in 20 want to kill doctor - study

A BIZARRE study has found that one in 20 patients have had the urge to kill their doctor.

The survey questioned 800 Americans who were in pain, undergoing physical rehabilitation or seeking legal compensation for disability to find out their attitude towards their GP.

The researchers from the University of Miami, Florida, found that just over 1 in 20, or five per cent, admitted feeling like they wanted to murder their physician.
