title: [Lights and shadows in the radio-television broadcasting on medical informations].
abstract: Some actual difficulties in the medical praxis, arising and growing in the social environment, and well known to the operating physicians and surgeons, should stimulate a careful analysis of the situation in search of the more likely causes and to draw the more suitable remedy. One of them certainly is the constant, and sometimes invading, presence of radio-television broadcasting in the all day life of everybody of more o less deepened programs inherent to themes of health. It is of the utmost importance to think over the topic, especially in order to evaluate the positive and negative aspects of the impact of radio and television media on the sensibility of the patients and in order to reflect on their reactions, and as a reflex on the professional behaviour of the physicians and surgeons, with all the lights and shadows.
