What do doctors need most in clinical work? The blue-black pen that doesn’t work, the leather shoes that feel like stepping on shit, and the shiny stethoscope. In the 21st century, there is only one doctor’s greatest appeal: to live awake. Among them, “alive” is a prerequisite for “awake”, and “awake” is the quality assurance of “alive”. So, a 2015 BMJ paper stated: Or, doctors also need A glass of “black medicine”. 
An Observational Study on How Doctors Buy Coffee at Work Source: the BMJ)What is “black medicine”? The title of the article is explained:Coffee. In 2009, the Queensland Health Centre (Queensland Cultural Centre) Fatigue Management Policy indicated that fatigue and excessive Overworked doctors use caffeine “strategically.” They recommend that doctors take 400 mg of caffeine (≈ 6 cups of coffee) per working day to keep working wide awake. In this way, in order to accurately explore the behavior of doctors in purchasing coffee, the pragmatic researchers decided to use data to speak: directly start with a hospital in Sweden, and analyze the coffee purchasing situation of this hospital for a whole year. Statistics over and over. Observations on doctors’ coffee buying behaviorThis mysterious study took place in 2015. Before the study began, the authors made one basic point clear:Although cheap instant coffee also contains small amounts of caffeine, This doesn’t deserve to be called coffee. Therefore, all the behavior analysis in the paper is only based on the four cafes with social attributes in the hospital. With the help of big data, the witty author retrieved all coffee consumption data from a large Swiss teaching hospital in 2014, and obtained relevant coffee types through the hospital’s electronic payment system. , sales times and accurate information on the number of products purchased. 
A 3-A hospital in Zhejiang shot in the elevator: holding coffee: medical workers in a hurry On the other hand, he obtained the hospital’s employee data from the human resources department through official channels, including Occupation, affiliation, medical specialty, gender, age, etc. Participants included 766 qualified physicians (425 men, 341 women) from all medical specialties. The author first used χ 2, Fisher, t-test and other methods to make a statistical comparison between coffee drinkers and non-drinkers. After that, he made a statistical action for the coffee drinker, detailing the absolute number of coffee sold per hour. The data were subsequently processed using t-tests, ANOVA to determine the effects of gender, class location, and specialty. In a nutshell, combining the purchasing database with the labor database yields some interesting conclusions. Orthopedics prefer to buy coffee, and anesthesiologists are the least? Before this study, an “academic debate” in the local physician circle was, who is the surgeon or the radiologist? Favorite coffee? The author tried to solve this problem, but wonderful results appeared. An unexpected result was that medical specialty was significantly associated with the amount of coffee per year (F = 12.455; P < 0.001). But no one thought that the main force of consumptionis neither general surgeons nor radiologists, but orthopedics doctor. 
the BMJthe most coffee consumed by orthopedic surgeons per person per year (mean 189.4, standard deviation 136.4), the number of anesthesiologists is the least, and the average person drinks only 38.8 cups of coffee per year (standard deviation 48.2)For this result, the author makes an analysis: One possibility is that orthopaedic surgeons have brought the good habit of “work hard/play hard/drink hard” into full play, so they often go to the cafeteria to buy coffee;Secondly, Swiss orthopedic surgeons have a lot of free time and need some good ways to kill time. As for the surgeons’ data pull down, it can be attributed to statistical limitations. After all, based on past experience, most of the “ghosts” of coffee making exist in the operating room: “Heads of departments usually have their own A coffee machine, and even a secretary who helps prepare “black medicine”. ”In other words: each department has a department secretary, and each floor has a floor secretary, so maybe each operating room has a “coffee secretary”! Finally, for anesthesiologists who don’t like coffee, the author also presents two completely different analysis logics: anesthesiologists are too busy, they don’t have time to find where the coffee shop is. ;Alternatively, they set up a dedicated coffee machine in the department, which they produce and sell themselves. The older you are, the more you love coffee? After studying different departments, it is the analysis of different ranks. As the saying goes, learn to grow old, drink until old. The conclusion of this section is that the older you are, the more you love coffee. 
the BMJ between coffee intake and grade: Correlation (F = 4.546; P = 0.004)In response to this result, the author believes that senior doctors are no longer youthful, which is most likely to be used to combat age and fatigue. best tool. Because only in this way can we keep up with the pace of young people. Of course, he made another assumption: senior doctors have more time and social networks, so there is more demand for purchases. For them, coffee can also be understood as a means of socializing. In layman’s terms, who knows that the director’s coffee is bought and drunk by himself , or a treat? The authors therefore believe that the existing data may overestimate the higher Average coffee consumption in jobs. Men doctors love concentrates, women doctors love cappuccinos< /span>Another interesting phenomenon is that the authors found that there is a clear consumption preference between male and female doctors. The study shows that although gender differences in absolute coffee consumption are consistent with general population data, there are large gaps in brand and type preferences. Male doctors show mysterious buying power when it comes to branded coffee and espresso. While female doctors are more inclined towards cappuccino consumption. 
the BMJ by gender : Average amount of coffee purchased per person per year by Branded coffee appeals to men, based on advertising agency campaigns and consumer behavior analysis of 1,053 medical students (85%) more than women (64%). Therefore, the author believes that the difference in attitudes towards coffee between male and female doctors is inseparable from marketing promotion. “Gender roles are commonly used in coffee ads, with men enjoying a decent espresso and women drinking on the sofa Chatting with friends over a cappuccino.”Coffee Philosophy in the Hospital Go here for in-hospital coffee purchases Behavioral data analysis can be described as sparks and lightning. Although it is an interesting study, at the end of the article, the author earnestly interprets the existing results, trying to reveal some topics that were once ignored. For example, using the same data on coffee intake in departments, the authors found that there are always more radiologists in the cafeteria than in other departments. Based on this phenomenon, he guessed that it is because radiologists need to face the computer screen in dim light for a long time, and they are prone to fatigue in a short time. He pointed out that drinking coffee is not only a functional drink for radiologists, but also an escape from the dark working environment. Way to liberate the self mentality time and time again. In the author’s explanation, coffee is a refreshing tool, a social tool, a confirmation of market consumption preferences, and a kind of A lifestyle that makes doctors comfortable.
