Does the patient or pathology exist?

Abstract

For a long time, the guidelines of medical conduct represented a useful, but not binding, model for adapting in order to avoid professional liability. In this sense, the idea of relying solely on these guidelines raises serious concerns, as very often there is no real “evidence” to scientifically support the recommendations. The authors have conducted a review of the literature to draw the attention of the scientific community to the highlights and shadows of this dangerous Italian prospect.
