音乐家也因职业病而苦恼。美国全国有十七个诊所专门处理演奏者的健康问题。最近对参加交响乐和歌剧音乐家国际会议的全体人员进行调查的结果,了解到他们对演奏有障碍的健康问题,其中三分之一以上有四种严重的症状,不胜其苦。 Musicians are also distressed by occupational diseases. Seventeen clinics across the United States specialize in the health issues of performers. A recent survey of all staff attending the International Symposium and Opera Musicians’ Conference found that over one third of them had four serious symptoms of health problems that were impediment to their performance.
