Abstract
The five authors recently discovered their misattributed paternity (MP), two ascertaining that, decades ago, their pediatricians abetted the paternity deception. From their unique perspective, the authors critique medical organizations' current MP discovery guidance, identifying shortcomings, contradictions, and clinical and legal hazards. They also discuss opportunities to improve MP discovery management.
