General practitioners' experiences with provision of healthcare to patients with self-reported multiple chemical sensitivity
Scandinavian Journal of Primary Health Care, 08/25/09

Skovbjerg S et al. – Despite the lack of formal diagnostic labelling the patient with MCS is well known by GPs. The majority of the GPs believed that MCS primarily has a multi–factorial explanation. However, perceptions of the course of the condition and management strategies differed, and many GPs found it difficult to meet the patients' expectations for healthcare. The majority of the GPs requested more knowledge and clinical guidelines for the management of this group of patients.
