Brief summary
The suffering of caregivers is constantly increasing. General medicine, because of its primary role in primary care, is particularly exposed to the risk of burn-out and must protect itself. The aim of this study was to find an inverse relationship between health-related quality of life and being severely burned by French general practitioners.
