Abstract
This essay tells the stories of six physicians with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to emphasize how important denial and control become when a physician is a patient. Guilt at the supposed psychosomatic "origin" of IBD suggests that we as physicians should never blame our patients for getting sick.Keywords
