For the report, Medscape surveyed 7,000 physicians across more than 29 specialties between Oct. 2 and Jan. 16.

Thirty-three percent of physicians said they have invested in a bad stock or company, according to the report. An additional 11% said they have made a bad real estate investment, while 19% said they have made another type of bad investment. 

About 33% said they have never made a bad investment mistake while 16% avoid investing altogether.
