Popis: Patients are sometimes referred to as “bad historians.” But who is the historian? “Historian” refers to the one taking and interpreting history, not the subject (whether a person or a topic). If a history is contradictory, lacking evidence, or irrelevant this could well represent part of the intrinsic problem rather than be a deliberate attempt to mislead. If you attribute blame to the historian you rightly (albeit inadvertently) blame yourself.
