Subject: Psychological morbidity is a common finding in rescue personnel following a disaster. However, no serious attention has been given to the possibility that hospital-based personnel are also at risk. Therefore, 12 to 16 months after the crash of Continental 1713, 15 subjects who had worked with crash victims and their families only while in the hospital, were given a structured interview. It is concluded that the emotional effects of disasters on hospital-based personnel are not trivial.
