Default When Disease Eludes a Diagnosis
When the Disease Eludes a Diagnosis

By BARRON H. LERNER, M.D. - Published: March 25, 2008

Lucy, one of my longtime patients, has a neurological ailment she believes I have been unable to adequately diagnose.

Although I hope to make further progress on her case, I have also told her that there may never be a definitive answer. Not surprisingly, she is feeling pretty frustrated with me.

Why do doctors and patients often approach the diagnosis of disease so differently?
