• Mon, Apr 18 2011  Lie to Me: Real Women Tell Us Why They Fib
to Their Doctors  You may consider yourself an honest person,
but we all lie a little bit. (If you say you don’t, then
congratulations; you’re now officially a liar.) Whether it’s
assuring your best friend that yes, her drastic new bleached
blond pixie cut looks great, or telling your boss that you
definitely didn’t get that 2 a.m. email, we all fib a little
bit, whether it’s to protect our loved ones or ourselves. But
why do we lie to our doctors? They’re not our friends, family or
employers, and they only have our best interests in mind. Still,
we lie.  We lie because we think they’re judging us, or because
we don’t want to get lectured, or because we want to sound like
we’re model patients. Three women told us about what they
consider to be harmless fibs they told (or continue to tell)
their doctors. Tell us if you think they should ‘fess up, or if
they should keep telling their version of the truth.  (Names
have been changed to spare lying pat
