Medically Unexplained Symptoms: Shaky Evidence, Shaky Practice - Dr David Tuller
Medically Unexplained Symptoms (MUS) might be useful as a descriptive name for the large category of phenomena that lack a proven patho-physiological pathway, but in the medical literature, and from some who present themselves as experts in the field, it is framed as an actual diagnosis that can be delivered with full confidence rather than a provisional construct based on the current state of medical understanding. Dr Tuller, Senior Fellow in Journalism and Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley, explains why this shaky evidence is leading to shaky practice, and the impact on patients.
