MUDS: In Search of Medically Unexplained Dermatological Symptoms

https://splendormedicinaregenerativa.com/03doughl6 MUDS EAJDVby David J. Elpern, M.D. Medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) are relatively well-known in the literature but not discussed in any dermatology journal.

Towards Continuous ‘Medical’ Inspiration

https://www.insearchofsukoon.com/o05xt0evhtn by David J. Elpern, M.D. Abstract: Physicians waste too much time mired in our pedantic and mediocre professional literature.
