title: [The informed society: television and surgery].
abstract: To understand the conflicts between media and surgery better, the working conditions of TV were examined. It was evident that the conflicts between surgery and media are mostly based on conflicts between surgeons and patients. When these conflicts are reduced, the conflicts with the media will also be reduced. The consequences for surgeons are (1) inform as openly and actively as possible, (2) react as openly and actively as possible, and (3) reduce conflicts by an exemplary medicine.
