Dr. Reid, You said: "(I agree that the stigma is minimal in this particular case, and I am not suggesting inappropriate "downcoding" to deal with stigma -- that's another rant.)" I would be very interested in hearing that rant. It's very clear that some diagnoses do have totally unfair and unrealistic stigma attached to them. I would be interested in your view of balancing patient protection with the admittedly important ideal of honesty. Particularly in cases where a lesser diagnosis would be honest, just not the complete and total truth. Thank you, Dinah
