[Guidance of the severely ill patient following detailed information about his disease].
The ability to guide serious sick patients and to help in terminal cases depends on the helpers personal attitude to death and questions of eschatalogy. The concept of truth means not only correct information about findings of examinations but rather veracious relationship based on mutual trust between patient and doctor. All coworkers especially the nurses participate process of helping the patient. There is no model program for the talk with serious sick patients nor for the inter-action with patient. Each situation of terminal cases is absolutely singular and unique. All our behaviour towards our patients is influenced by personal experiences.
