Why is it important?
Some failures point to the need to emphasize the teaching of how to communicate of bad news during medical school, post-graduate, and continuing education
Perspectives
It is not enough to be empathic so that unwanted news is received without trauma. It is equally relevant that, through appropriate methodologies, because it is a practicable exercise, physicians improve their communication techniques so that their conduct, in addition to avoiding harm, provides greater benefit to the patient.
