A new survey reveals that around 10 percent of physicians in the United States admitted saying to their patients something that was not true.

“Our findings raise concerns that some patients might not receive complete and accurate information from their physicians, and doubts about whether patient-centered care is broadly possible without more widespread physician endorsement of the core communication principles of openness and honesty with patients”, lead researcher Lisa Iezzoni said.
The survey is published in the journal Health Affairs.
