Summary:

"This program explores the links between stress and illness by staging a day in the life of a lawyer. An endocrinologist, a perinatal psychobiologist, an occupational psychologist, and two psychiatrists observe and comment on his stress factors and the way he handles them. The experts discuss how the "fight or flight response," a result of adrenalin and cortisol secretion triggered by stress, might be appropriate for fleeing from lions but is not a useful reaction in the office and can be detrimental over time."--Container.
