O Paciente cirúrgico-relação médico paciente

Abstract

A good medical assistance requires a profound cognitive, technical, conscious, affective, and ethical preparation of the physician. Besides his knowledge about and the necessary know-how of surgical techniques, every surgeon should be aware of the patient's psychosocial situation, as well as of the fact that a relationship between the doctor and the patient, which involves all the above mentioned features, is crucial for the success of any therapy.
