Abstract
Doctors have a deep-rooted sense of professional identity 'the medical self'. This allows them to do the jobs society expects from them, but also acts as a barrier when seeking care when unwell. This article discusses how the medical self is formed drawing on psychoanalytic, anthropological and psychiatric literature.
