        Abnormal abdominal pain, the father of nanjing city, jiangsu province li mou, take a lot of better. Li mou hurriedly send father go to a hospital for checking. During which he told the doctor don't according to solid mutually tell if severe disease. After the check, call on his clearance, the mother to the doctor's office to understand the illness. After the doctor seen all diagnosis report, the old man has a serious disease of the colon is truthfully say, beaten by li mou. (July 24, the Yangtze evening news)
        Has been hiding in patients with severe illness became a human choice, has a common consensus and mass support. Before the media reports, about 70% of China's cancer patients were lying about. In most cases, all patients are hospitalized, after family members asked his doctor to help its hide condition. For this and many lists some hide a classic example of some critically ill patients to die all don't know exactly what's the matter with myself.
        In fact, any thing has both advantages and disadvantages, the discussion about whether or not should be lying on the patients also carried out several rounds, it seems that the conclusion is withheld humanity but not human nature, there are conflicts of laws.
First of all, the right of informed consent is the patient's own legal rights, are protected by law. The United States "patients' bill of rights is emphasized the subject status of the patients to the right of informed consent, the patient to decide how to treat and when to tell family. Domestic in 2010 began to implement the tort liability act will also be the body of the right of informed consent in medical relation is defined as patients. At home and abroad, so to speak, in jurisprudential have in common.
        Second, the right agent does not conform to the patient's subjective intention. Sichuan university, west China school of medicine, according to a survey, 90.8% of the cancer patients surveyed think should make early cancer patients know a truth, 60.5% of cancer patients surveyed thought should let the advanced cancer patients know the truth. Know your patient, although the idea may produce a wave period, but in the long run instead help them adjust the mentality, actively cooperate with treatment. Also help to prepare, prepare something later. If conceal blindly, there may be no prepare, once appear deterioration and its uncertainty, such as speculative again but easy to increase the burden.
        Once again, to hide is not conducive to long-term treatment patients. Treatment is a process of cooperation and interaction, doctors and patients with direct communication is very important, such as concealment, means that lack even the most basic communication between doctors and patients. On the one hand, there is nothing seriously wrong with patients think they rejecting treatment will be negative, even refused to treatment; On the other hand, the doctor also cannot agree on health care and patient communication and negotiation, when treatment will be particularly hard. On the basis of the treatment effect is likely to be fully, finally will also set a dangerous precedent for the doctor-patient relationship.
        What's more, the stand or fall of health patients tend to own the most clear, in the case of illness, tend to explode. So plain truth is not hard to understand, but why the truth, there will be a doctor informed patient a spouse has beaten by son in patients with malignant events, ultimately lies in medicine and psychology, the lack of common sense, led to the understanding deviation, even a serious man.
Out of respect for law and medical professional, family members of patients should not take the initiative to conceal his condition, not only should also cooperate with the doctor informed patient. Only in this way, the idea of man will be change.
