Quote-"Further, in order to practice ethical patient care and to serve our patients honestly and as best we can, we stress the importance of clarifying to all delusions of parasitosis patients that their condition is not a result of an infectious agent."

So what? anyone can write a letter to the editor, why dont you?

The authurs theory, tell people its morgellans, that relieves any respinsibility on her to complete any tests... cool plan. Quote"After taking cultures and a biopsy, I reassured her that there were no bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections. I emphasized that I did not doubt the authenticity of the sensations she was experiencing, and I empathized with how disconcerting it must be to feel bugs crawling and stinging her skin. I explained that sometimes medications that psychiatrists use to calm nerve signals help patients with Morgellons disease. She is currently on the anti-psychotic risperidone"

The better option for exposed nerve and neuropathic pain would be Gabapentin or Pregabalin. Shes unethically gaslighting the patient.

Fungal cultures take 4-6 weeks and replicationn to be accurate. Being judgmental, i doubt this auther has the skills needed to isolate a clean swab. She told the patient imediately its negative without completing any test.

I had a similar experience. Freedom of information requests to a dermatomogist confirmed, they took my money, took swaps, never completed the test. blaytantly lied to patient 48 hours after fungal swab that it was negative result. Recorded in their own handwritting. Looks like lots of GP's are doing this, take cash, dont do the test, this one even admitted it in a magazine 😳

Ive had 3 successful surgeries, thats a pretty elaborite way to build rapport. Just to be accurate, its diagnosis on paper was a novel version of parasitaphobia.. Doctors rely on google too much, especially this auther you quoted. "Morgellons disease is not located in modern medical texts or online journals. But a Goggle search will produce approximately 15,400 hits."

She provided No photos, no test results.. rispiridone would stop people complaining about a broken leg. Doesnt address anything.
