Female doctors revealed more level of discomfort than male doctors. The relationship 'tween BMI and questionnaire score is very significant. Clinicians accompanying a BMI greater than 25 had a taller percentage (57.4%) of moderate to harsh OS.BMI is favorably equated with clinicians' material and mental well-being, particularly not sure-aged group.  This facts serves as an awareness and alarm for the clinicians to protect their own well-being.
