LUGONES BOTELL, Miguel. La información al paciente grave y en estado terminal en la educación médica. Educ Med Super [online]. 2002, vol.16, n.3, pp. 189-195. ISSN 0864-2141.

Some considerations on the right of the patient to recieve information about his health status, disease and prognosis are approached in this paper. Different aspects to be considered such as age, believes, cultural level and sense of life are also analyzed. Emphasis is made on health, fundamental value of humanity, and on the role the proffesor should play as an educative model for students as regards the formation of ethic values, which is considered as a complex pedagogical problem, taking into account that they are not only being trained as physicians, but that their personality is being formed, too.

Palabras clave : CONFIDENTIALITY; PHYSICIAN-PATIENT RELATIONS; EDUCATION, MEDICAL.
