Therefore, we explored NOMS data for the United States (U.S.) occupational workers’ mortality during 1999, 2003-2004, 2007-2014 to compare physicians’ mortality associated factors to the mortality associated factors among nurses vs. the mortality associated factors among lawyers &amp; judges. Due to lack of adequate sample sizes of decedents being concurrently present among physicians, nurses, and lawyers &amp; judges of Black race, we were able to tabulate 25 causes of death with significant PMRs among physicians, nurses, and lawyers &amp; judges only of White race. Therein, intentional self harm associated mortality was found to be common among U.S. White physicians, nurses, lawyers &amp; judges.</p> ER -
