The medical report for patients and families is a practice that we follow every day as health professionals, in which ethical errors are frequently made and perceived by the family or by the patient. This is due to a great extent to subjective factors depending on the health personnel and to certain virtues of the human beings that should be respected and exploited at the moment of providing information to a patient or to a relative such as confidence, compassion, integrity, justice and humanity. This topic was addressed in an integrated way in terms of primary aspects of communication at difficult times in personal life, when patients and families are given information for informed consent, in our daily work at the medical services or at the patient's bedside.

Palabras clave : medical report; bioethics.
