Peripheralia: Philological Obfuscation
Keywords:
Philological Obfuscation, DSM 1V Revised classifications
Abstract
Each day in general practice we see all sorts of conditions that don’t quite fit into the boxes that medicine loves to put people. Patients often have bits of one diagnosis and other parts of another condition and then in our minds they end up with neither. They fall through all those cracks in the ghastly ICD codes and the DSM 1V Revised classifications.
