Back when I was looking for a surgeon to do the 2-level fusion I was sure I needed, Doctor 90% required an MMPI before surgery. (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory)

Results are paraphrased:

Patient may be amplifying pain in order to generate attention.....

or.....

patient may be experiencing severe, chronic pain.


Well, thanks a lot for the definitive results! This is like a rorschach test for the doctor... he can see whatever he wants to see.

Wouldn't it be great if medicine was a science?
