  • The Impaired Surgeon
    The Impaired Surgeon Ranjan Sudan, MD*, Keri Seymour, DO KEYWORDS Impaired Physician Alcohol Drugs KEY POINTS Impaired physicians commonly refers to those who suffer from substance use disorders (SUDs). The annual prevalence is approximately 10% to 12%. Treatment is available through physician health programs (PHPs). Prognosis for recovery and preservation of the ability to practice medicine are excellent for more than 70% of the participants. BACKGROUND According to the American Medical Association (AMA), an impaired physician is one whose physical or mental health interferes with their ability to engage safely in profes- sional activities.1 Such impairment can be the result of a substance use disorder (SUD), mental health issues, or physical health problems. Although by this definition “physician impairment” can be used broadly, it is more commonly used to describe a physician who has a SUD and is the focus of this article. Previously, substance abuse and substance dependence were 2 separate diag- nostic categories. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fifth Edi- tion), however, combined them into a single disorder that is measured on a continuum from mild to severe, and each specific substance use is addressed separately (eg, alcohol use disorder). To diagnose SUDs, 11 symptoms are assessed that relate to impaired control, social impairment, risky use, and pharmacologic criteria, such as tolerance and withdrawal. In general, a mild SUD is suggested by the presence of 2 to 3 symptoms, moderate by 4 to 5 symptoms, and severe by 6 or more symptoms. These include taking the substance in larger amounts and for longer period than intended; wanting to cut down or stop using the substance but not being able to; spending a lot of time getting or recovering from use of the substance; craving and urges to use the substance; not keeping up with work or school because of substance Disclosure Statement: The authors have nothing to disclose.
