Potential Financial Conflicts of Interest: None disclosed.
TO THE EDITOR:
Regarding the recent article by Agrawal (1), I understand the short-term benefit of her lie, but if the patient ever found out the truth, that great relationship she built with her patient will be forever ruined. There will be no trust in a person who lies. I have always found that if patients could not deal with the truth of any situation, they and you are better off separating. As Agrawal said in her article, one lie leads to another. And then where does it end?
