title: [The health care surrogate in general medicine].
abstract: The theme of the surrogate is not established in the practice of general practitioners yet. Their long-term relation with patients places them in a favorable position to approach this topic. The surrogate could improve the quality of patient's care. Some factors limiting the surrogate's designation are indicators of the current deficiencies of the surrogate's device.
