Traditional Doctors speak on Multiple Chemical Sensitivity
In the conclusion to his "Workers with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities", (1987b.p 804), Dr. Mark Cullen, Yale University School of Medicine, writes:

The Health Problems of workers who  react to low levels of environmental pollutants and chemicals, increasingly  reported and recognized in recent years, has posed a serious dilemma for health providers from a wide array of disciplines, including generalists, internists, family practitioners, allergists, psychiatrists, social workers, and frequently occupational physicians and nurses.  The inability of these professionals to provide satisfactory care, from the patient's perspective has led to the emergence of new and alternative clinical theories and approaches, challenging traditional views.  Unfortunately, the success of these alternative approaches has also has also not been demonstrated, fueling an ever widening and hostile debate in which the
"patient is held hostage and virtually all clinicians are rendered impotent because of  widely known intraprofessional disagreements."

Intraprofessional Disagreements

"The patient is held hostage and virtually all clinicians are rendered impotent because of widely known intraprofessional disagreements."

These are Doctors that we trust with our health ... We do our jobs with equipment and  chemicals supplied by our Employer.  We do our job the way we were trained to do our job.  We get sick, our illness is not diagnosed, our Medical Insurance Money is wasted trying to prove we're not sick and we're if fact "HELD HOSTAGE"
