Dr. Matthew James White, MD

Lies in the Doctor patient relationship can have both immediate and far-reaching consequences. The experience of being deceived is often associated with complex emotions (eg, confusion, rage, betrayal, and despair). The deceived are also narcissistically injured; they may realize that they are not that important to the deceiver or that they were not savvy enough to have recognized the lie. Their trust in others and in themselves is violated. In addition, faith in one's neighborhood, church, and country can become suspect. People can become negative and cynical or feel so disenfranchised that they become avoidant (so as not to be wounded again). Lying also has an effect on the liar (eg, feelings of guilt, entitlement, alarming powerfulness, damage to a sense of personal integrity, and loss of credibility). Patients who feel betrayed often seek financial and legal retribution (eg, via lawsuits). Incomplete disclosure in both directions compromises clinical care. Lies that go… unrecognized can promote misinformation or lead to treatment that is inappropriate or harmful.
