Abstract:
Presentation of a study, based on a survey conducted among urology patients on the extend of their wish to know the truth of their illness. The results indicate that the majority of patients DO want to know the truth, although such option is mediated by many environmental factors (such as age, sex, place of residence, education level, etc.). Some remarks are made on the lack of literature on the subject and the belief that awareness of this fact may be useful in the currently difficult physician-patient relationship.
