Doctors and "Factlessitious Disorder" by Erik Johnson

Epidemic of Mental Illness in Doctors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The emergence of Medically Unexplained Illnesses
has revealed an epidemic of behavioral problems and
personality disorders in doctors.

Patients expressing unfamiliar complaints to their physicians
often induce the, "It's All In Your Head" (AIYH) or the "That's
Impossible" response in doctors suffering from these behavioral
problems and personality disorders.

Physicians who manifest the metaphysical belief system of "If we
don't know about it, then it doesn't exist" are suffering from a
mental defect or psychological condition known as "Doctors with
Unexplained Medical Beliefs" or D.U.M.B.

DUMB doctors are comprised of two categories that are
characterized by those who are feigning to be DUMB for
monetary gain: "Medicalingering" and those who are not in
possession of sufficient information to render intelligent
diagnoses: "Factlessitious Disorder".

Physicians who are predisposed to this condition place an
inordinate emphasis on theories of psychological causality for
virtually any unfamiliar complaints that are presented to them. 
This somatiform obsession with psychological etiology,
"Psychosomatization Disorder" or "Psychologizing" is a
distinctive characteristic of the mental illness and should be
considered a warning sign that the individual is not rational and
may in fact be DUMB.

DUMB disorder may be concomitant but should not be confused
with Signs of Thoroughly Umistakable Physician Intelligence
Deficiency or "S.T.U.P.I.D." since a STUPID physician is
uniformly incompetent while a DUMB doctor is only mentally
paralyzed into "psychologizing" by unfamiliar symptoms and
complaints.

An immediate investigation is warranted to assess the
prevalence of DUMB and STUPID doctors and to determine the
impact that physicians suffering from these mental defects have
on the health care system and their patients.
